Career Focus

Career Focus provides funding for employers and organizations to create career-related work experiences for post-secondary graduates. The program is part of the Youth Employment Strategy, a horizontal initiative involving eleven federal departments and agencies.

Other Youth Employment Programs:

• A wide range of community organizations can apply for funding to assist youth facing barriers to employment through the Skills Link program.
• Canadian employers, not-for-profit organizations, public sector and smaller private sector employers (50 or fewer employees) - can apply for wage subsidies to create career-related summer jobs for students between the ages of 15 to 30 through the Canada Summer Jobs program.
• If you are a full-time student, you can post your resume at the Federal Student Work Experience Program (FSWEP) Web site and apply for student jobs with the federal Public Service of Canada.
• Students and recent graduates can find summer job and internship opportunities from across Canada through the Young Canada Works program from Canadian Heritage and Parks Canada. This program includes opportunities to improve second language skills, work in heritage preservation and work within Canada's National Parks system.
