WIL Digital (Work-Integrated Learning Program) - Information and Communications Technology Council
Applications for the WIL DIGITAL subsidy are now open! The Student Work-Integrated Learning Program will support partnerships between employers and post-secondary education (PSE) institutions to create more work-integrated learning placements for students enrolled in post-secondary studies across Canada. The program will focus on occupations in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and business. The Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) is one of the partners that will deliver the program, working with employers and PSE institutions in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Under the Student Work-Integrated Learning Program, employers offering quality work-integrated learning placements to PSE students will be eligible to receive wage subsidies through ICTC.

HOW TO APPLY If you are an employer, including a small- and medium-sized enterprise, you are encouraged to contact ICTC for more information on how to participate in this program.
