Welcome Summer Students

Each summer, Manitoba Hydro & Efficiency Manitoba welcomes a new group of students who bring fresh ideas, curiosity, and energy to the workplace. Whether you are joining Hydro or Efficiency Manitoba for the first time or returning for another term, we are happy to have you with us.

Summer students play an important role across many areas of the organization. From supporting technical teams and field operations to assisting with administrative and project work, students contribute in meaningful ways while gaining valuable experience in their chosen fields. These placements are a great opportunity to learn more about the energy sector, develop professional skills, and build connections that can support future career paths.

For those returning for another summer, welcome back. Your previous experience and knowledge of the workplace help strengthen teams and create a supportive environment for new students joining this year.

CUPE 998 also encourages students to take time to learn about the workplace resources available to them. Understanding your rights, supports, and the benefits of working in a unionized environment can help ensure you get the most out of your summer experience.
