Employers on PEI can apply for wage support to create summer job opportunities for Island students.
The Jobs for Youth Program supports non-profit organizations, municipalities, and public and private businesses with funding to create summer jobs for students aged 15-29 who plan to return to school in the following school year.
Successful retailers could receive funding to cover up to 50% of the minimum wage for the employee. See press release and program details here.
