100 Student Jobs Initiative

The 100 Student Jobs Initiative is the newest CSPG Outreach committee. The goals of the committee are to 1) help students from across Canada get that all important first summer job and hopefully subsequent summer and full time jobs, 2) give employers an easy conduit for finding summer students from across Canada without having to travel from university to university through all ten provinces, and 3) promote the CSPG and its activities to both undergraduate and graduate programs across Canada, raising the awareness of all students about the pending shortage of geo-scientists currently and in the coming years. This will hopefully lead to higher student enrolment in CSPG membership as well.

While only getting our resume website up and running in February/March 2007, we successfully attracted 220 student resumes, with very equal representation from all the universities with geology programs across Canada.

We were able to test our web-based resume system and get feedback from the approximately 15-20 employers that reviewed our database. From this feedback, we will be able to provide a substantially improved database for the 2007/2008 school year. We also intend to add the ability for employers to post summer jobs, work terms, student related contract work, and then provide resources for graduated students looking for new jobs on the website. The feedback from the students was extremely positive, and said the website is a critical tool to help them get started as geoscientists.

All of us have at least one neglected pool or play concept that deserves some attention. Summer students have the ability to take these neglected pools and try to find the hidden value. They will make a difference to your bottom line!

Please contact Claus Sitzler at 100studentjobs@cspg.org for more information.

We are excited about the coming school year and look forward to getting lots of student resumes and posting many jobs for potential employers onto the website.
