The Government of Canada is creating generational fairness by creating opportunities for young Canadians to get the skills they need for well-paying jobs. Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) supports this strategy by helping young people to earn money over the summer, while gaining skills and experience.
This initiative is part of the Government of Canada’s ongoing commitment to support young Canadians, making life more affordable and providing them with the skills and experience needed to build a better future.
The CSJ program prioritizes projects that support youth who face barriers to employment. This includes youth with disabilities, Indigenous youth, as well as Black and other racialized youth. By providing all young people with equitable opportunities to develop their skills, Canada Summer Jobs can help them to succeed in the job market.
This year’s budget includes a proposed $200.5 million investment for 2025–26 to continue the Canada Summer Jobs program, further demonstrating the commitment to creating opportunities for young Canadians.
These job opportunities have enabled youth to gain valuable work experience, develop essential skills and earn money over the summer in various sectors, including those facing critical labor shortages such as housing construction.
