i think kids need to be at least 16 years old to work legally in ontario
|
I have a 15 yr old son who is in need of a job to understand responsibility as well as the value of a buck. It'll be his first job. Anyone have any leads in the Brampton area? It is just for the summer as he is back in school in September. Maybe the job can continue even after he starts school again. A couple evenings and weekends.
PS. I'm not looking for parenting advise here. Only getting my son started in the real world. He wants to earn money too. Teens need 'stuff'
Cheers

Movie Theatre, they will hire him as long as you sign a letter allowing it (under 16). My buddy is the gm at the Mississauga silver city but that may be to far, have him go to the operations manager at the Brampton silver city and ask him directly for a job.
Back in the day if a kid showed up looking decent and I needed someone I would interview and hire on the spot
Best time to apply is on a Friday night in between shows at around 815pm
Its been a while since I was the GM (thank god) so I can not help
Does he have any skills? If he's good with computers, he might get a piecework service job with a small shop. Aisle-monkey at a grocery store? (*) By the way, why parenting advice? Sounds to me that you're doing just fine.

What will make the experience even more authentic is if he gets to enjoy a horrible commute as well.
Canada's Wonderland hires a lot of youths over the summer. From Brampton, he can take the bus to get there.
Other than that, apply at all the grocery stores in the area. That was my first legal job when I turned 15.
He could be a dish monkey at a restaurant. I know while I was in high school a lot of people were working at Orion Gate theater at steeles. Also see what the parks and rec have to offer. I taught skating for a few years since I was 15

Roger,
Both McDonalds near you should be hiring. You can also try the new DQ in your area as well.

If he has no luck at all then perhaps you should consider paying him to do volunteer work.
$5 per hour to do something charitable like push old people in wheelchairs around in nursing homes or something like that.
The hospitals are another option or local food bank.
Maybe do a search for "volunteer brampton"
Better than playing computer games all summer.
When you want something done in the worst way, that's usually the way it is implimented... in the worst way.
I got a job in a hot factory working for near minimum wage my first summer working. It was absolutely amazing because it made me realize that's NOT what I want to do for the rest of my life. It was great motivation to work hard and be responsible for my own future!
So in other words, if you're having issues with him being motivated, I'd suggest a factory job. (But make sure it's not one of those extremely well paying factory jobs though. That might have a negative effect.)

Thought it was ok as long as you had parent permission?!?
Lots of great ideas and OP I think that is an awesome idea. I had my own on the side business cleaning houses for real estate agents at 15 and it really helped set me up. Also my mom would let me help her pay the bills. I paid for the car insurance (its only $30 a month where she is) and I got once a week access to the car. Course had to pay my own gas also but it helped. I just gave her the money and she actually did the paying but it got the idea through AND I got something in return. For the rest of the bills she included me in the process. She would hand me the money she wanted to put towards bills each week and we would sit down and go over where the money should go and why. Let me see what running a house costs really.
Another awesome thing my dad did was make me pay rent. 25% of each pay and what I didn't know until I moved out was that money was saved for me as a moving out gift.
Two things I want to repeat with my own kids.

Farm work.
Good solid hard work and you earn the money you make, and it'll put some muscle on to the kid.
Correct, he can work at 14 with parental consent.
As much as i hate to say it, send him to the fast food chains for at least 6 months.
It teaches valuable skills he will need in the workforce.
I don't mean flipping burgers as much as dealing with several lame bosses, crappy customers, fast paced stress, it's a good eye opener and he will appreciate getting a real job after that.
