ATB 101 Student Program

ATB 101 is a comprehensive summer student employment program offered from May to August. Students work within their specific team and, via the 101 programming, have additional opportunities to connect, collaborate, and network within the greater organization. Beyond their everyday duties, ATB 101 students take part in learning opportunities, mentorship, career development and a community project. ATB is committed to our team members' growth and development: that includes our students.

As an ATB 101 student, you’ll contribute to ATB by powering possibility for our clients and your team—and we promise you’ll have fun along the way.

We want to create opportunities for all our team members to thrive. For our ATB 101 students, this means:

• Earning wages at a minimum of $25/hr.
• Full-time work during core business hours. Hybrid work with a combination of virtual and in-person work for many roles.
• Technology is supplied by ATB. No need to bring your own device.
• Access to change-makers and empowering leaders who invest in your growth and development.
• Accessible and inclusive roles.
• Involvement in meaningful, strategic work that advances ATB's goals.
• Experience that will significantly impact your education and career.

What sets ATB 101 apart: the community project

As ATB team members, we understand that success is linked to the greater good—we are successful when the communities we serve are successful. Every year, our student cohort engages in a community project to apply their classroom knowledge and gain new skills, while giving back to the community. ATB 101 students have the opportunity to work directly with a community partner to solve a real-world problem. Our past partners include The Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association, Boyle Street Community Services, Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth (USAY), YW Calgary, The McDougall Centre, The Calgary Drop-In Centre, The Howl Project, Spirit North and Inner City Youth Development Association.

Testimonials

“Despite being an ATB 101 student, I have never felt limited by my status as a student in my work. My team members see me for my skills and what I have to offer which enables me to get involved in work that is fulfilling for me. At the same time, my leader sets timelines and expectations for me, but allows me to reach the goal in my own way. I find that with the way management works at ATB, I feel obligated to complete my work because of my respect and responsibility I feel to my leader and team, not just because I have a deadline to meet. ATB does not feel like just a summer job for me, I am invested in the company since I feel like they have invested in me and my growth as well.”

“Working as a student ATB has allowed me to learn, grow, and meaningfully contribute to the enterprise. From being connected to a team that aligned with my skills during the hiring process to designing & executing projects to forming relationships with folks across the organization - I have felt empowered to share my voice and take on new challenges at ATB. I’m grateful for the chance to have now spent three summers at an organization that cares deeply about their clients, team members, and broader community.”
