The Government of Canada is set to provide 70,000 job opportunities for young people this summer through the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program.

The initiative is aimed at equipping youth with valuable skills, hands-on experience, and career exploration opportunities while offering financial support for education and living expenses.

According to Canada Immigration Services, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, Marci Ien, confirmed that 70,000 summer job placements will be available for young people between the ages of 15 and 30.

The program builds on last year’s success, where it exceeded expectations by creating 71,200 jobs, surpassing the initial target of 70,000.

Starting April 21, 2025, young job seekers can explore available positions through the Job Bank website and mobile app.

The program offers roles across diverse industries, including recreation, food services, marketing, tourism, housing construction, and environmental protection. These opportunities not only align with participants’ interests but also target industries experiencing labor shortages.

A key priority of the CSJ program is to support young people facing employment barriers.

The initiative is designed to provide equitable job access for indigenous youth, racialized youth, youth with disabilities, and those in rural or remote communities.

By focusing on these groups, the government aims to foster a more inclusive workforce and ensure equal opportunities for all.
