City summer jobs and co-op placements
The City hires students every year for seasonal and part-time roles. Positions open in departments like Parks & Recreation, Roads & Winter Maintenance, Public Safety, and Corporate Services. You can browse current openings on the Careers portal. If you are looking for a school co-op placement, check the Internship programs page for application windows and partner organisations.
Career fairs and hiring events
Wrenford hosts several recruitment events throughout the year to help young people meet employers. Mark your calendar for the Youth Hiring Fair 2027, which takes place at Tamsin Valley Leisure Centre. The annual Wrenford City Career Fair 2027 at Westbrook Community Arena also welcomes young applicants looking for part-time or full-time roles.
Resume building and career coaching
You do not have to navigate the job market alone. The Wrenford Youth Futures Network offers free workshops on writing resumes, practising interview questions, and exploring career paths. They also host drop-in coaching sessions at City Hall. You can reach their team at [email protected].
Volunteer opportunities that build skills
Volunteering is a great way to gain experience and meet people in your neighbourhood. The City runs the Fire Cadet Program for youth interested in emergency response, the Catch Basin Adoption Program, and the Green Streets Volunteer Program. Sign up through the Volunteer opportunities page.
Tips for young applicants
- Start early: prepare your resume and cover letter a few weeks before the Youth Hiring Fair or City career fairs.
- Dress for success: even for a casual interview, clean clothes and neat hair make a strong first impression.
- Follow up: send a short thank-you note within 24 hours of an interview to show you are serious.
- Be reliable: showing up on time and communicating with your supervisor are the most important traits for any first job.
