Created to help McMaster students make it through the summer by gaining money and experience, this unique three-week program features both on-campus events combined with online features that give students greater access to summer job opportunities.

Special features of the program include a Summer Speakers Event Series with presentations from SWAP Working Holiday, Volunteer Hamilton, McWork Summer Program and the Summer Career Experience Program.

Students will also have access to resources and employment strategies at the Summer Job Search Workshops, an informative online FAQ and a Virtual Summer Job Fair with 575 positions already posted.

For students interested in finding a great summer opportunity, there is unlimited information on summer job searching available. However, experience is the best teacher.

Recognizing opportunities for skills development, trying something new to explore interests or creating your own summer job will depend on preparation and motivation. Career Services is here to make sure McMaster students have the best summer experience possible.

Students interested in finding out more about the Summer Job Survival Program can check out our website or visit Career Services in Gilmour Hall, Room 110.
