How it works

The ministry offers hundreds of different types of summer jobs to students throughout the province.

These jobs may involve working outdoors (e.g., at Ontario Parks, on a lake), at specific sites (e.g., laboratories, fish culture stations) or in an office environment.

Positions are offered through four programs that have specific:

  • age and eligibility requirements
