The Department of Human Resources tracks some students by the amount of applications. So, we start in December by holding open houses. We contact students. We go through a process of inviting students. We have a website inviting students to apply.

Last year we had 598 students apply for summer employment, and of that we hired 312, like I indicated. To date, we’ve had 558 summer students apply.

My understanding is that at the end of this month, a lot of the technical students will be returning to the Northwest Territories, so we’re expecting a little bit of a jump there. So, the next point where we see increases is usually at the end of May. So, we’re anticipating that we could easily beat the number of last year, but I don’t know exactly how many students will actually be hired. Again, it would depend on department-by-department budget numbers. Thank you.
