Description

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is North America's third largest transit system and has been recognized as one of the top places to work in the GTA. Guided by a forward-thinking strategic plan, the TTC's vision is to be a transit system that makes Toronto proud. The TTC's recruitment efforts are directly aligned to its mission of providing "a reliable, efficient, and integrated bus, streetcar and subway system that draws its high standards of customer care from our rich traditions of safety, service and courtesy."

The Toronto Transit Commission is currently accepting Summer Student applications for Summer 2023 fulltime employment. The Summer Student employment term is scheduled to begin on May 1, 2023 to August 25, 2023 and you would be required to work for the full duration of the term. We offer a wide range of entry level and specialty positions in various locations throughout the City of Toronto.  Most positions involve working in a unionized environment. Some positions may involve working outdoors, while others may require specific licenses, skillsets and/or work experience. 

The TTC operates 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.  Therefore, students must be flexible and willing to work shift work, as 80% of the positions available involve working various shifts (morning, afternoon, nights), which may include working weekends and holidays.
