Summer Youth Internship winds down another successful year

The Saskatoon Industry-Education Council (SIEC) Summer Youth Internship Program, running July 9 to August 17, held its annual Celebration Luncheon at Marion Graham Collegiate in Saskatoon yesterday (August 15).
Congratulations to the 68 students and 50 businesses that participated in this year's program. Special thanks to Chili's Saskatoon and to The Rook and Raven for the three culinary interns they hired for the summer.

Traditionally, most interns are hired in the construction trades, but with cooks and other food and beverage staff increasingly in short supply, we're sure to see more restaurants participating by next year.

There's no better way to start preparing your future employees than by hiring them as interns while they're still exploring career options. And there's no better way to hire interns than by working with our friends and partners at SIEC, because of the preparation, support and workplace mentoring that is available to them.

The SEIC recruits Grade 11 and 12 students from the three school divisions in the greater Saskatoon area. STEC recruits food service employers to participate in the program.
