THE OTHER PRESS Letter to the Editor July 12, 2006 The Service Canada Centre for Youth — Your One Stop Job Shop With high schools in the Lower Mainland approaching their final days, students will be soon be eagerly searching for jobs as their pockets empty. As any student knows, the summer is a very compet- itive time for job hunting; it often takes one several weeks of search- ing to find something. In order to help students and youth alike avoid this frustrating situation, the Service Canada Centre for Youth (SCCY—Hire a Student) is open again for the summer. The SCCY as it is known offers students and youth assistance with resume, cover letter, and mock interview preparation. The SCCY also offers students online access to a wide array of job postings and a program known as Casual Labour all at no-charge. The Casual Labour program in particular offers students the ability to work for short periods of time, less then five days, while looking for more permanent work. A huge benefit of this program is that the stu- dents teceive cash when the job is complete—no need to wait the usual two weeks! As part of the Youth Employment Strategy, the targeted group for the program and all of the SCCY’s services is anyone between the ages of 15 and 30. The Casual Labour program is geared at students with little to no previous work experience and allows students to choose from a wide array of jobs, including everything from gardening to data entry. This is a great way to strengthen your resume. To learn more about what the SCCY can offer you, simply call them at 604.666.1200 or drop in to see the friendly staff at 4695 Central Boulevard, right beside MetroTown, from 8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.
