The City of Calgary offers several youth employment programs for high school students to recent university graduates. We participate in programs such as STEP, CSJ, Co-op, EIT and business internships. We also employ many students through our seasonal hiring program.
If you are looking at opportunities to expand your knowledge or perhaps your leadership skills you may also want to look at the many volunteer opportunities The City has.
