It is now situated on the 1st floor outside of the Fitness Centre (1H5) across from Aromas.

Now let’s see other activities of HRDC Job Bank. Summer Work Experience creates summer employment for secondary and post-secondary students, and supports the operation of summer employment offices. This program is delivered in partnership with various private, public and not-for-profit groups. Summer Work Experience helps students find career-related summer jobs by providing wage subsidies to employers. It also funds information and promotional activities. Summer Work Experience initiatives include:

Summer Career Placements and other summer employment initiatives — wage subsidies for private, public and not-for-profit employers to create career-related summer jobs for secondary and post-secondary students. There are special provisions for employers who hire students with disabilities. These jobs provide students with the opportunity to acquire skills, gain valuable work experience and help finance their return to school. Summer Work Experience helps thousands of students add work experience to their résumés and break the “no experience/no job—no job/ no experience” cycle.

Human Resources Centers of Canada for Students — located across Canada and open to the public from May to August, these offices help students find summer jobs and offer group information and one-on-one sessions on résumé writing, preparing for interviews and looking for a job. Employers can access services free of charge to find motivated employees for the summer months. Offices also provide students and potential employers with up-to-date information about wage rates and labour laws, health and safety in the workplace, and information on other federal and provincial youth employment programs.
