Wage Funding For Employers Committed To Cultivating the Next Generation of Environmental Professionals

We provide 50% of a wage up to a maximum of $5,000 to eligible employers who hire the brightest minds in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math (STEAM) and Business.

Students gain valuable on-the-job experience and employers increase future talent pool and resource availability

  • We offer funding for three sessions per year: Winter, Summer, and Fall

  • Student Candidates and Host Employers are required to find their own co-op placement

  • Applications typically open 3 months prior to start of each co-op session

Additional funding may be available for employers who hire students from one of the following groups:

  • Women in STEM

  • Indigenous People

  • Persons with Disabilities

  • First-year Students

  • Recent Immigrants (Permanent resident or refugee status)

  • Visible Minorities

Host organizations may complete multiple applications for funding in the upcoming semester.
