Fall 2023 term - A focus on underrepresented groups
As an agriculture employer, you rely on many different skill sets to accomplish the day-to-day tasks required to run your business. With the sector evolving constantly, the need for new skills is only going to be greater.
CAHRC's Growing Opportunities wage subsidy program supports agriculture employers as they hire post-secondary students for Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placements. Funding covers up to 50% of wages, unless you hire a student that is one of the following: a first-year student, woman in STEM, Indigenous student, newcomer to Canada, visible minority or persons with disabilities. In that case, funding covers up to 70% of wages.
Funded by the Government of Canada through the Student Work Placement Program, Growing Opportunities is available for registered Canadian businesses, start-ups, and not-for-profits related to the primary agriculture sector.
This is your opportunity to bring in new skills and play a part in growing the future of the AgriWorkforce. Applications for placements will be available for Fall 2023 term on August 1, 2023.
