How it Works Our central Summer Student Program database contains 11 different application forms that students can submit, based on the nature of summer student work that the Government of Saskatchewan offers. Students can submit one or multiple application forms depending on their interests, qualifications, and experience, and will receive a confirmation email once each application form is submitted. As a summer student job becomes available, the hiring manager submits a request for students to the Summer Student Program Coordinator. The Summer Student Program Coordinator searches the central database for students who match the position’s requirements, and refers them to the hiring manager for consideration. Managers only contact those students they wish to interview/assess. Due to the volume of students who apply, not all students can be contacted. Please note: To be eligible for student employment programs you must be attending and returning to school on a full-time basis. Proof of student status may be requested. |
