Summer Jobs Programs


Whether you want to find a job, start your own business, or come and work for the Government of Ontario this summer, there's lots of work available through Ontario's summer jobs programs.

Summer Jobs Service

Summer Jobs Service is a free service that provides job-search and self-marketing support to help students find summer jobs.

It also pays employers $2 per hour to hire summer students. Rural or northern employers can apply to the Rural Summer Jobs Service or their local Ministry of Northern Development and Mines Northern Development Office.

You can find promotional materials that highlight all provincial summer employment programs for students
