- As you complete each grade or level of education, be sure to update your talent profile.
- You can customize your cover letter and resume in each job application.
- We do not post jobs titled "Student" or "Summer Opportunities", instead look for opportunities that are:
- Casual: only scheduled or called in as needed
- Temporary: shows an "expected up to" date
- Part-time
We follow the Collective Bargaining Agreements procedures for posting opportunities. If you are interested in a casual opportunity but don’t see it listed in the area you would like to work in, please check back on the job board often - we post new opportunities each business day (Monday - Friday, except statutory holidays).

What do students say about our events?
Hannah C. (Gr.12) - "I loved how interactive it was. How much knowledge we learned in a single day was AMAZING. I loved that we got to see totally different parts of the health-care field, and that's only a couple of sections in the entire work field!"
Avril H. (Gr.11) - "I really enjoyed the hands-on learning part, with being able to do IVs and administer needles. The interactives caught my attention and were engaging and educational. Overall, the experience was great, and I loved it."
