STEP program helps students get summer jobs
MEDICINE HAT– If you’re a student looking to make some extra cash, the Summer Temporary Employment Program might be for you.
The program sets up summer jobs for high school and college students across Alberta. Since 2016, the program has set up nearly 9,000 jobs for students in the province.
Students in the program can work up to thirty seven and a half hours per week. In terms of pay, they still make at least minimum wage but this is not all coming from the pockets of the businesses, as the government provides seven dollars per hour.
