WIL Digital provides:
- 70% of the eligible student’s salary, up to $7,000, if the student falls within a designated under-represented group
- 50% of the eligible student’s salary, up to $5,000 for other eligible students
Employers can hire students from full-time work terms to part-time positions of a few hours a week and the application process is quick and easy. For details about the program and application process see the program application guide or connect with ICTC’s Atlantic Regional Coordinator, Tim Perron.
