Another student also from Acadia University, Kate Albright, has just finished a work-term here at the Centre. Kate did a fantastic job of organizing our fossil teaching collection, developing web resources and educational material, and much more. Thanks Kate!

The Joggins Fossil Centre will be hiring a co-op student for the summer of 2010, so keep your eyes on our website (under "Job Postings") if you are interested in working at this world-class institution.

These positions, offered in a wide range of organizations, will help young Canadians learn the skills required to gain and sustain future employment within the sector.

This project is a collaboration between the YMCA and YWCA Canada, with funding provided by the Government of Canada's Economic Action Plan. The YEIP encourages applicants from visible minority, Aboriginal, immigrant, refugee and traditionally marginalized communities to apply, and is committed to providing employment supports wherever possible.
