Developing the next generation of Tech Talent – Career Ready Program

originally published: 2023-06-30 14:04:22

As part of the Government of Canada’s Student Work Placement Program (SWPP), TECHNATION’s wage subsidy program, Career Ready supports businesses by financing their decision to hire a student for a work-term placement. This in turn creates a rewarding opportunity for the student to apply their learning in real-world settings and puts them on a path to a bright career.

The program provides 50% (to a maximum of $5000.00) of a student’s pay in wage subsidies to employers.

An increased subsidy of 70% (to a maximum of $7000.00) is awarded to employers hiring students from under-represented groups:

• Women studying Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths (STEM)
• Indigenous students
• Visible minorities
• New Canadians (within 5 years)
• Persons with disabilities
• Students in their first year of study

• Fall 2023 Program (September 1 – December 31) – Opening on July 11 at 1pm EST
