Full time Post Secondary Students are encouraged to apply for summer student employment programs
in the urban area where they reside. The goal of the Urban program is to enable Post Secondary Students to acquire work experience relevant to their field of studies.
Students residing out of province are directed to the provincial aboriginal organizations that administer the urban program for their area (called Aboriginal Human Resource Development Agreement holders - AHRDA). Each Centre has a Counsellor that is available to assist students with their summer student employment search.
Depending on where the student resides for school, the following is a list of the centres where they can apply to for funding for their potential summer employment or to inquire about postings they may be aware of:
