Did you know that youth in Ontario can take first aid training starting at age 12? While part-time employment typically begins at age 14 (except for babysitting), having Standard First Aid CPR Level C with AED training can give young job seekers an edge in many industries.

​

Why Standard First Aid Training Matters

Many parents enroll their children in a babysitter course, which is great for childcare. However, Standard First Aid training is a more comprehensive option that prepares youth for a wide range of part-time jobs beyond babysitting.

​

Common Part-Time Jobs for Youth in Ontario:

A Standard First Aid certification can benefit young workers in fields such as:
✅ Retail Sales Associate
✅ Food Service Worker
✅ Dog Walker / Pet Sitter
✅ Tutor
✅ Gardener / Landscaper
✅ Delivery Driver / Courier
✅ Library Aide / Assistant
✅ Lifeguard
✅ Event / Attraction Ticket Salesperson
✅ Grocery Store Clerk

Taking on a part-time job as a teenager builds independence, responsibility, and confidence. It can also:
✔ Teach a strong work ethic
✔ Help teens avoid depression by staying active and engaged
