NOW HIRING! STUDENTS ENCOURAGED TO APPLY FOR SUMMER JOBS

Released on December 1, 2011

The Government of Saskatchewan is encouraging students to apply now for summer positions with the public service.

"We're opening our application process earlier this year to accommodate those students who like to apply for jobs well in advance," Minister responsible for the Public Service Commission June Draude said. "There is a wide range of exciting opportunities available for students, they really play an important role in ensuring services continue to be provided as regular employees take summer holidays."

In 2010, the province hired more than 750 students to work in various ministries, and in positions across the province. Jobs ranged from highway crew members and park gate attendants to researchers and office relief workers.

Amy Deibert is a student at the University of Regina and worked for the Public Service Commission as a summer student in 2011. Amy's job was to help match hiring managers and students.

"I was surprised to discover such a variety of opportunities - working outside in one of Saskatchewan's beautiful parks, helping in government offices, or on a highway crew," Deibert said. "There are also jobs that provide experience in students' fields of study."

Previous students like Amy have expressed their appreciation at working in the public service for the summer. In fact, many hope to find a job in the public service once their education is complete.

"These students are the talent we need to attract to ensure the public service continues in the future," Draude said. "A summer job is a great way for them to experience our workplace and plan to come back once they've finished school."

While the majority of students are hired from May to the end of August, there are also opportunities available throughout the year, including co-op work terms, student jobs and internships.
