Urban Post Secondary Summer Student Employment Program

Summer Career Placement 2017

Full time Post Secondary students are encouraged to apply for summer student employment programs in the urban area where they reside during the school year. The goal of the Urban program is to enable young people to acquire work experience relevant to their field of studies.

Students residing out of province are directed to the provincial aboriginal organizations that administer the urban program for their area (called Aboriginal Human Resources Development Agreement holders – AHRDA). Each Centre has a Case Manager/Counsellor that is available to assist you with your summer student employment search.

Depending on where you reside for schooling, the following is a list of the centers where you can apply to for funding for your potential summer employment or to inquire about postings they may be aware of:
