ICTC's Work-Intergrated Learning (WIL) program helps employers grow their businesses by providing financial subsidies to hire post-secondary students

Are you an employer or business leader looking for extra help this Winter? You could 
receive a wage subsidy of up to $7,000 to hire post-secondary students from January to 
March 2026.

The Information & Communications Technology Council's (ICTC) WIL Digital program helps 
employers grow their businesses by providing financial support to hire post-secondary 
students. In addition to the wage subsidy, employers gain new perspectives to help tackle 
challenges within their business, identify potential long-term hires, and support the early 
career development of the next generation of Canadian leaders.

Employers can receive 50% of a student’s wages up to $5,000, or 70% up to $7,000
when hiring underrepresented students. WIL Digital supports both full-time and part-time 
positions – apply early as funding is limited. Learn more and apply for the January to March 
2026 period here: Hire Students in Canada | Wage Subsidies for Internships
