Are you a young person looking for a summer job, or know someone who is?
|
The 2026 Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program is now underway — offering paid summer employment opportunities for young people right here in Edmonton Centre.
|
This year, our government is supporting up to 100,000 summer jobs for youth aged 15 to 30 across Canada — helping the young leaders of today to gain meaningful work experience, build skills, and take the next step in their careers.
|
Whether you’re a student, recent graduate, or simply looking to gain experience, there are a wide range of roles available in sectors like technology, construction, tourism, recreation, and the environment.

Supporting Youth, Every Step of the Way
Canada Summer Jobs is part of a broader effort to support young people in building their futures. Through our youth employment initiatives, we are:
|
- Expanding 55,000 work-integrated learning opportunities for post-secondary students through the Student Work Placement Program
|
- Delivering 20,000+ additional skills and work experience opportunities through the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy
|
- Making education more affordable by maintaining a 40% increase to Canada Student Grants and raising the weekly Canada Student Loan limit from $210 to $300 for the 2026–2027 school year
|
- Eliminating interest on federal student and apprenticeship loans since 2023, and expanding loan forgiveness for professionals working in rural and remote communities
|
These investments are helping young Canadians gain the experience, confidence, and connections they need to succeed — now and into the future.
