Student Summer Works (SSW) is a summer program designed to connect students to quality part-time and full-time employment. SSW strives to:

• improve students’ ability to pay for continued education;
• provide students with work experience to develop practical work skills;
• link future graduates to potential long-term employers in Saskatchewan; and
• create employment opportunities that strengthen organizational capacity and  support succession planning.
  

Ensuring students with employment barriers can gain work experience to build their employment capacity is a key priority for AEEL.  As a result, the SSW program will continue to be focused on students with disabilities and Aboriginal students who continue to be under-represented in our growing workforce.
