Formerly the Human Resources & Career Centre for Students and the Hire-a-Student program, the Service Canada Centres for Youth (SCCY) are centres, set up by the Government of Canada as part of its Youth Employment Strategy, by which it helps students and employers across Canada with their summer employment needs.

In 1968, the first Hire-A-Student office was erected as a pilot project within a Canada Employment Centre (CECs) in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. The Federal Government supported the idea and in 1971, provided funds to establish Hire-A-Student offices in separate premises. The chief function, under supervision from the parent CEC, was to serve as a referral and placement service for students and employers. The philosophy behind the SCCY offices was, and remains, peer group service: students helping students to find jobs. In 2008, the SCCYs celebrated the 40th anniversary of the program.

Summer jobs help students develop their skills, and offer them the work experience they need to build their career. SCCY provides a variety of free services to assist students improve their job search skills, and acquire meaningful employment. It also helps employers to find enthusiastic summer help. Most offices are open from May to August, and are staffed by experienced university students. The Ottawa, Winnipeg, London, and Windsor SCCY offices are open on a year-round basis.
