CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack-area non-profits, public sector organizations and small businesses are being urged by Chilliwack-Hope MP Mark Strahl to apply for federal government funding to hire young Canadians through the 2025 Canada Summer Jobs program.
“I encourage not-for-profit organizations and small businesses in our community to apply for funding through the Canada Summer Jobs program,” stated MP Strahl. “Both local employers and local students have benefited from this program in the past and there are more applications to participate in it every year.”
The Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program facilitates summer job opportunities that offer valuable work experience for youth aged 15 to 30. Strahl says these jobs help youth and young adults acquire the skills and experience they need to successfully join the workforce.
Not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employers, and private-sector employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees in Chilliwack—Hope can apply for CSJ funding from now until December 19, 2024, to hire young Canadians next summer.
