Funding opportunities

It's never been more affordable to hire a co-op student.

There are a number of grants, tax credits and funding programs that subsidize, and sometimes completely cover, the cost of your hire. Browse the funding opportunities below to learn more.

 

Did you know?

The Ontario Co-operative Education Tax Credit allows employers to claim 25% of eligible expenditures on salaries and wages (30% for small businesses).

The maximum credit for each work placement is $3,000. Similar tax incentives are available in other provinces.
