Working with work-integrated learning (WIL) students is a cost effective way to increase your organization's productivity and innovation.
If you are hiring for a paid position, there are a number of grants, tax credits and funding programs that subsidize, and sometimes completely cover, the cost of your hire. For example, 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.
