The Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program is part of the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy (YESS), a horizontal Government of Canada initiative delivered in partnership by 12 federal departments, agencies and Crown corporations. The YESS supports youth (aged 15 to 30), especially those facing barriers to employment, to receive the employment supports, skills training and work experience they need to successfully transition into the labour market.
The CSJ program, delivered by Employment and Social Development Canada, provides wage subsidies to support employers from not-for-profit organizations and the public sector, as well as private sector organizations with 50 or fewer full-time employees, to offer quality summer work experiences for youth aged 15 to 30. CSJ provides youth with opportunities to develop and improve new and existing skills. For some young people, CSJ is a first job experience that will help inform their future education, training and career choices. The program is responsive to national and local priorities as well as labour market needs.
Through CSJ, projects that support youth who face barriers to employment are a priority. By providing young people with equitable opportunities to develop their skills, CSJ can help them succeed in the job market.
CSJ-funded jobs are full-time (30 to 40 hours per week), with a duration of 6 to 16 weeks, with the average job duration being 8 weeks and 35 hours per week.
The hiring period for CSJ 2025 runs from April 21, 2025, until July 21, 2025, with jobs running until August 30, 2025. Up to 76,000 jobs that matter to young people and to our communities will be posted on the Job Bank website and mobile app, and will be updated on a regular basis. Young people are encouraged to keep checking for updates on jobs available in their communities.
