Employers' Interest Invited: Deadline for High School Work Week Program

The Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth has announced the commencement of the process for implementing the work week program for students in the second year of high school during the 2025-2026 school year. The deadline for employers to express their interest is January 16, 2026. This initiative is part of the Recovery and Resilience Plan and aims to address the skills mismatch between education and the labor market. Employers are requested to complete an electronic form for each province in which they wish to host students, even if they operate in more than one. The work week is part of the annual action plan of the Ministry and the strategic goal for educational policies concerning the student.
