Businesses and organizations around the Basin can once again get support to hire students through Columbia Basin Trust’s School Works program. Applications are available at cbt.org/schoolworks2014 and are assessed on a first-come, first-served basis.
The program provides a wage subsidy of up to $8/hour to encourage employers to provide part-time employment to full-time high school and post-secondary students during the school year. Small businesses and non-profit, First Nation and public sector organizations in the Basin may apply. Co-op and practicum student positions are eligible. The program is administered by College of the Rockies.
“School Works has proven to be a successful program for both businesses and students alike,” Lisa Kilpatrick, Columbia Basin Trust Senior Manager for Sector Initiatives, said in the statement. “It gives local businesses and organizations some extra support, while increasing local employment opportunities for students to make some money and get valuable work experience during the school year.”
For more information on the School Works Program and to download the application form, visit cbt.org/schoolworks2014.
