Student Work Placement Program
Get up to $5,000 in wage reimbursements when you hire a student currently attending a post-secondary institution.
Grow your workforce with new talent
This program’s goal is to increase the job readiness of post-secondary students. Employers can take advantage of this wage subsidy to help reduce the overhead costs of hiring and training new talent. Participating in student work placements also helps highlight the variety of opportunities available within your company to soon-to-be graduates, building your talent pipeline with experienced workers.
