High school and university students are either already finished online classes or on the precipice of ending their school year.
Normally, many of these students would take up a summer job, working as a lifeguard, at a summer fair, at a camp or in other industries.
However, with the COVID-19 pandemic closing down non-essential services and cancelling mass gatherings, the task of finding employment may be more difficult.
Student Works Painting in Lethbridge is hiring painters this summer to tackle interior and exterior jobs. “Painting is actually one of the most recession-proof jobs out there,” said Nathan Broadway, owner of the Lethbridge portion of the company.
