What is The Green Team Program?
SEIMA, Saskatchewan Environment and Saskatchewan Advanced Education and Employment are pleased to offer student employment funding through the Green Team Program. This program seeks to place Saskatchewan students in summer jobs that provide an opportunity to develop their environmental knowledge and build their experience in Saskatchewan 's green and prosperous economy.
Information For Students:
The hiring process is directly between the student and the employer company/organization. SEIMA has no role to play in this process. Qualifications being equal, priority will be given to Aboriginal and Metis students.
*NEW* You can now download a list of Employers who have been approved for subsidies to hire high school and/or post secondary students just like you for the 2009 summer term. Use this list to contact directly these employers who may still be looking to hire students for these positions, or who will be looking for someone to fill similar positions this or next summer. Find the 2009 list in the download section above.
Information For Employers:
Successful applicants must meet two criteria. First, they will be employing the student in an activity or project that is related to the environment. This could range from conducting environmental research, to assisting with the design of a local park, to planning the clean-up of a community waterway. Second, the application will show that the job provides a quality learning and development opportunity for the student.
The Green Team program will provide wage subsidies in the amount of 75% of the wages and benefits expected to be paid to the student, up to a maximum of $3,500. The employer receives the wage subsidy in two installments. Once the applicant has been approved and a student has been hired, the initial 65% of the approved wage subsidy will be released. Concluding the work term, and after final reports are submitted to SEIMA, including certified proof of payment of wages, the remaining 35% will be released.
APPROVED EMPLOYERS PLEASE NOTE
Final reports should be submitted in the format of STANDARDIZED FORMS which will be provided to you at a later date.
Additional questions should be directed to the SEIMA office at (306) 543-1567 or by emailing the Green Team Coordinator, Robbi Humble: rhumble@seima.sk.ca.
