Value

Wage subsidies of up to 70% of the wage cost for each work term placement (up to a maximum of $5,000 in general and $7,000 for underrepresented categories per placement).

Description

The Student Work Placement Program (SWPP) is a joint initiative between the CCAA and Employment and Social Development Canada.

This program is funded by the Federal Government (Employment and Social Development Canada, ESDC) and the CCAA is the official delivery partner for the aviation and aerospace sector. The program helps post-secondary students get the experience they need to prepare for jobs in these high-demand fields. There is funding available for part-time and full-time students registered in programs other than STEM and business.
