TECHNATION Canada - Career Ready Program

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 and students in their first year of undergraduate study.
