McGuinty Government Offers Natural Resources Positions
This year, thousands of youth from across the province will develop knowledge and skills in natural resources management through experience-based work and learning positions.
The province is offering more than 2,500 jobs to youth across Ontario through a range of programs including:
- Ministry of Natural Resources Internship
- Ontario Ranger
- Ontario Stewardship Ranger
- Aboriginal Youth Work Exchange
- Post-secondary Co-op
These complement other government-wide employment programs, such as the Ontario Internship and Summer Experience, all of which help to build Ontario's workforce.
The Ontario Public Service is working to ensure that youth from all across Ontario have an equal opportunity to learn about natural resources management.
