Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Digital

ICTC's WIL Digital program supports post-secondary students experiential learning opportunities to develop technical, foundational, and work-ready skills while they work in Canada's digital economy. 

WIL Digital is an innovative work placement program that benefits both employers and students. WIL Digital helps employers grow their businesses by providing a wage subsidy to hire post-secondary students while students gain meaningful work experience and on-the-job learning. WIL Digital is funded by the Government of Canada's Student Work Placement Program (SWPP). ICTC is among the first organizations to deliver this program.

In addition to work-integrated learning, ICTC also offers access to exclusive e-learning courses. Through taking these courses WIL Digital students develop foundational technology, business, and entrepreneurship skills.

WIL Digital provides employers with a wage subsidy of up to 50% of a student’s salary up to $5,000, or 70% up to $7,000 for underrepresented students.

Underrepresented groups include:

• Women in STEM
• Indigenous
• Students with disabilities
• Visible minorities
• Newcomers to Canada
• First-year students
