SUMMER EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS

Released on February 16, 2001

Saskatchewan students have new opportunities this summer to prepare for their

futures by working to enhance our province.



Today Premier Lorne Calvert announced the Centennial Summer Student Employment

program for Saskatchewan students, a five-year program designed to encourage

students to continue their studies, through meaningful summer employment

opportunities.



"The youth of this province are the most fundamental resource we have for

building a better and brighter province," Calvert said. "This program is one

of many initiatives that my government will implement to ensure Saskatchewan's

youth have an opportunity to learn, work and live in Saskatchewan."



Over five years the program is expected to employ more than 10,000 students

throughout the province. For 2001, the Centennial Summer Student initiative

will result in 2,200 summer jobs being available. The focus for this year's

student opportunities will be in the areas of environment, parks, community

service and the public service.



An enhanced financial commitment of $5 million this year will be provided to

urban and regional parks, to post-secondary institutions and to community-based

organizations to undertake projects and activities that provide jobs for young

people.



Community organizations will be asked to consider projects that will prepare

our youth for the next century in this province, as they develop their

proposals for funding. The program will fund 75 per cent of the student wage

costs up to $4,000 per job and the agency or organization offering employment

will provide the remainder of the salary.



"This is a wonderful opportunity for us to encourage young people to continue

their studies," Calvert said. "Summer employment opportunities are very

important for students. Without these opportunities many students would not be

able to look forward to the next semester. The Centennial Summer Student

Program will allow more students to contribute to the cost of their education

by earning a good summer wage. We want to send a strong message that

Saskatchewan young people are a priority."



The program will result in job creation opportunities for high school students

over the age of 16 and to post-secondary students returning to school this

fall.
