Why hire a student?
· Drive Innovation and Growth: Students bring fresh perspectives, up-to-date knowledge, and digital skills that can help your business tackle new challenges and accelerate projects
· Expand Your Talent Pipeline: Engaging students gives your current team valuable mentorship opportunities and helps you build a pool of future-ready talent familiar with your business, reducing hiring and onboarding time down the road
· Access Wage Subsidies: Through programs like ICTC’s WIL Digital, you may be eligible for wage subsidies covering up to 70% of a student’s salary, to a maximum of $7,000-making student hires an affordable investment in your company’s future
· Real-World Success: Hear from Dr. Hamed Hanafi, Founder & CEO of NovaResp, who leveraged student talent to deliver tangible results and support business growth.
We’ll be joined by Tim Perron, Regional Coordinator with the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) who will share how their WIL Digital program can offer wage subsidies of up to $7,000 for post-secondary students joining your team.
He’ll be joined by Dr. Hamed Hanafi, Founder & CEO of Halifax-based NovaResp, who will share first-hand how students have contributed to NovaResp’s growth and innovation, and how wage subsidies made these opportunities possible. We’ll also hear from Theresa Myra, Employer Relations Manager at Dalhousie University, who will share best practices on effectively recruiting a student who can contribute to your team.
