Quotes
“Summer jobs are often the first work experience for students in Newfoundland and Labrador. They are a fantastic opportunity to develop new skills and connections, increasing their employability right here at home. Inviting applications earlier than ever before gives employers time to assess their needs and apply.”
Honourable Bernard Davis
Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Labour
