ICTC's Cybersecurity Training and Work Integrated Learning Program provides employers with wage subsidies to hire post-secondary students, who could also potentially become full-time hires upon graduation.
ICTC has partnered with Microsoft, Toronto Metropolitan University, and the University of Calgary to pilot a new initiative aimed at expanding the pool of cybersecurity talent. The program will provide 40 female and non-binary post-secondary education students with access to Microsoft training and certification examinations, along with a 16-week paid work-integrated learning placement in the cybersecurity sector. Participants will be matched with mentors and employers in the field and employers will receive up to $7,000 in wage subsidies.
