What is the WIL Digital Subsidy?

ICTC’s WIL Digital is an innovative Work Integrated Learning program that helps employers grow their businesses by providing financial assistance for hiring post-secondary students. WIL Digital is funded by the Government of Canada’s Student Work Placement Program (SWPP) and provides a wage subsidy of up to 70% of wages to $7,000 for eligible students.

This summer, combine ICTC’s funding with the Provincial CEI program for a very cost-effective student work term experience.
