PROGRAMS

Employability:  This program provides opportunities for students to learn how to stand out to potential employers through various employment skill sessions.

• Go to http://www.saskatooniec.ca/employability/   and email Aaron (aaron@saskatooniec.ca ) with questions

Summer Youth Internship Program:  This unique program offers Grade 11 and 12 students an opportunity to participate in a 6-week paid internship in the trades or IT. Students can also earn 20 & 30 level Apprenticeship credits. In the past, some Grade 12 students have been asked to stay beyond the internship for continued employment and apprenticeship opportunities.

• We are currently working with employers who may be able to take new students

• If you know a student who has a summer position with a company and would like to receive credits, please let us know

Safety @ Work:  In partnership with various workplace safety associations such as the Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association and WorkSafe Saskatchewan, the SIEC offers safety training certification to youth prior to entering the workplace. This includes industry recognized certifications in construction and tourism.
