CROWNS HIRING STUDENTS FOR THE SUMMER

Released on February 24, 2009

Students looking for work this summer should keep Saskatchewan's Crown corporations in mind.

"We have 330 positions available throughout the Crowns," Crown Corporations Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. "Between the Crowns and the Saskatchewan public service, there are over 700 opportunities for students to find work. They gain valuable experience, and in turn, we gain enthusiastic employees who may eventually consider a career in the public service."

There are a wide range of jobs available at Crowns including SGI, SaskTel, SaskEnergy, SaskPower, SaskWater, Information Services Corporation, STC and Saskatchewan Opportunities Corporation. The majority of the jobs run from May through August. Students are encouraged to apply on-line at the various Crowns as the hiring process begins in late February/early March.

Summer jobs aren't the only opportunities available for students in the Crown sector. This year, there will be over 180 co-op jobs for students at the Saskatchewan Crown corporations. In addition, CIC funds the INROADS Leadership Training and Employment Program and Gradworks. INROADS is a leadership training and employment internship program for Aboriginal post-secondary students. Gradworks offers recent post-secondary graduates a 12- month internship within the network of the province's Crowns. More information on these programs is available at www.cicorp.sk.ca.

"There are many career opportunities available throughout our Crown Corporations," Cheveldayoff said. "Crowns play a key role in encouraging young people to stay in Saskatchewan. We are committed to helping students build their futures here. In today's marketplace, attracting and retaining employees is paramount."
