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 75% up to $7,500 for eligible students.

Many businesses are able to combine ICTC’s funding with Provincial wage subsidies for a very cost effective student work term experience.
