Employers in the greater Kawarthas region can now apply for funding under the Canada Summer Jobs 2022 program.
The federal program is intended to help youth and young adults between 15 and 30 years of age to obtain their first summer work experience. For 2022, Canada Summer Jobs is aiming to create up to 100,000 full-time summer job opportunities for young people.
Not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers, and those private sector employers with 50 or fewer full-time employees can apply for funding until noon on January 25, 2022.
Funding confirmations will be sent to employers starting in April 2022. The earliest job start date is April 25, 2022, the latest job start date is July 24, 2022, and the latest job end date is September 3, 2022.
Employers interested in applying for Canada Summer Jobs 2022 funding can submit their applications electronically via an online fillable application or the Grants and Contributions Online Service (GCOS).
The online fillable application is the fastest way for employers to complete an application online without having to create an account. Applications received by fax or by email will not be considered.
