| How to participate? | | | Who is eligible for participation in the YWCBLO program? Full time students between 16 and 30 interested in: · gaining practical work experience related to his or her field of study; · exploring career opportunities; · discovering new regions of Canada; · enjoying competitive salaries they may put toward paying for part of their studies; · improving her or his competence in one of Canada’s two official languages. Students who must travel more that 125 km for their summer job placement will be eligible to receive compensation for the cost of their round trip journey from home to the place of employment. YWCBLO will also provide a stipend toward the cost of lodging during the placement. For employers: · in the nonprofit, public and private sectors; · interested in hiring young bilingual students; · who are ready to provide these students with practical work experience related to their field of study. Employers will be eligible for salary payment subsidies of up to 70%. This opportunity provides employers access to a bilingual, trained and energetic workforce. Student employees will facilitate access to services in French and English throughout the country. The YCWBLO may contribute to the improvement of French and English speakers across the country in two ways: 1) The employee’s first language facilitates its widespread use in the community within which they are working, and helps the people with whom they are working to improve their French or English. 2) The employee improves his or her French or English while working in a bilingual or immersed setting.
How to apply Application forms for both potential student employees and employers can be submitted online via the Young Canada Works website: www.youngcanadaworks.ca.
