Parks Canada is hiring students

Annual recruitment campaign runs until Jan. 31

Parks Canada on Prince Edward Island is once again offering students the opportunity to work in a hands-on environment through the Parks Canada student employment program.

The annual recruitment campaign runs until Jan. 31, with a goal of filling more than 100 positions at P.E.I. National Park, Green Gables Heritage Place and Port-la-Joye/Fort Amherst National Historic Site.

As part of the Parks Canada team, students will have an opportunity to positively impact visitor experiences at the national park and national historic sites in Prince Edward Island.

Students will gain valuable experience working in a positive team environment while learning practical, highly marketable and transferable skills that will help them as they advance in their careers.

Parks Canada is looking for students with a wide range of interests and skills to fill a variety of positions. Openings are available in janitorial and grounds, heritage and park communicator, public relations and communications and visitor experience musician/ animators positions. There is even an opportunity to work as an “Anne” imitator at Green Gables Heritage Place.

Both bilingual and Englishspeaking students who are currently enrolled in high school or post-secondary programs will be hired to support operations at Parks Canada’s sites in P.E.I.

Interested students are encouraged to apply through the federal government jobs portal at Jobs.gc.ca and should search for jobs open to the public in Prince Edward Island.
