How the program works

The program is delivered by a range of recognized associations and organizations who represent key industries and sectors in Canada.

Together, they partner with colleges, universities, polytechnics and CEGEPs to:

• Provide wage subsidies to employers that offer quality student work placements
• Create recruitment opportunities to match students to the right placements
• Convene educators and employers to help align PSE curricula to the skills needs of industry

Funding is limited and administered on a first-come, first-served basis wherein completed applications are prioritized in the order they are received.

• 50% of the wages (to a maximum of $5,000) for each net new placement.
• 70% of the wages (to a maximum of $7,000) for each net new placement for under-represented groups including women in STEM, Indigenous students, newcomers, and persons with disabilities, visible minority as well as first-year students.
