Hire a Student Week
EXETER — June 12-16 is Hire
A Student Week.
The summer is fast approach-
ing, which means students from
all over the region are looking for
jobs. The temporary and flexible
labour services secondary and
post -secondary students provide
can be a valuable resource for
your business. If your company
receives rush orders, has an
employee on maternity leave, or
needs to improve office efficien-
cy, hire a student!
Students can offer many skills including:
• Flexibility — Students can often work days,
evenings or weekends. Some are available for
part-time employment, while others are available
full time. From physical labour to office work to
computer programming, students can meet your
needs.
• Technological skills — Today's generation of
young Canadians is among the best educated and
most at ease with changing technologies. They
have a lot to offer the workforce. But they have to
start somewhere.
• Learning is their business — Students are tal-
ented and adaptable. Learning is their full-time
job.
• Community enhancement — Summer jobs help
students enhance their employability skills,
finance post -secondary education and contribute
to the local economy.
• Odd jobs — Businesses and private households
often have tasks that no one has time to do.
Answering telephones, mowing lawns, faxing let-
ters or cleaning an office are jobs that students
can help you with. Odd jobs help young people
gain valuable work experience, and can last from
one hour to several weeks.
The Exeter Service Canada Centre for Youth
(SCCY) encourages local businesses to hire a stu-
dent this summer. Whether it is a casual, part-
time, or full-time opportunity, summer jobs pro-
vide students with valuable experience. The SCCY
offers free job posting services for employers.
Homeowners and employers looking for help with
odd jobs around the home or business can also
hire students through the SCCY. Call (519) 235-
1711 to place a job order for free or visit us at 349
Main St. S., Exeter. Our office hours are Monday to
Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For more information on the Government of
Canada's programs and services, please call the
toll-free Youth Info Line at 1-800-935-5555, the
touch-tone phone or teletypewriter line (TTY) at 1-
