Description
What could your company achieve with up to $ 7,000 in co-op wage subsidies? The Student Work Placement Program is an initiative to increase the job-readiness of students registered in STEM or business programs at Canadian post-secondary institutions.
- The program gives employers the freedom to: Gain access to funds to hire co-op students; Leverage a pool of workers eager to enhance their skills; and Develop new talent for future recruitment needs.
- The program's co-op wage subsidies help knock down that cost barrier, by covering the cost of a co-op student's salary by 50% up to a maximum of $ 5,000 and 70% up to a maximum of $ 7,000 for first-year students and under -represented groups including: Women in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics); Women in business; Indigenous students; Persons with disabilities; and Newcomers.
