Timeline

Former Explore participants

The Languages and Work program gives former Explore program participants the opportunity to work for educational institutions offering the program. The available jobs are related to the Explore program, ranging from facilitator to teacher, or even administrative or logistical support for the program, allowing you to relive the experience from a different perspective.

Once you have confirmed your eligibility for Languages at Work (see section below), you can create an account and complete your profile on the Young Canada Work website (see the “Resources” section below). This will allow you to browse the job listings offered by Explore institutions.

Before being listed, jobs go through an application and selection period from employers. They are only posted on the platform after being validated, starting at the end of March. Before that, it is normal not to find any job offers.

You can also contact educational establishments offering the Explore program to ask them if they are looking for employees for Languages at Work, starting at the beginning of Spring.
