Ontario is offering more than 1,900 job opportunities in natural resource management.
As part of the Youth Jobs Strategy, Ontario and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry are providing youth with the opportunity to gain skills and job experience through the following internship and summer programs:
- Stewardship Youth Ranger Program
- Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Internship Program
- Summer Employment Opportunities
- Aboriginal Youth Work Exchange Program
- Ontario Internship Program
- First Nations Natural Resources Youth Employment Program
Providing youth with summer job opportunities is part of the government’s economic plan for Ontario. The four-part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people’s talents and skills, building new public infrastructure like roads and transit, creating a dynamic, supportive environment where business thrives and building a secure savings plan so everyone can afford to retire.
