Your business could benefit from hiring students, interns, and recent post-secondary graduates. Not only do these candidates possess the skills and enthusiasm that can support operational success, but they could also help your company qualify for hiring grants and wage subsidies.

Students are keen to learn, to apply learning, to make a difference and to get real world experience. They see technology and innovation as a means to solve problems and improve efficiency. Students help add new ideas into the mix.

Locally, you can tap into services offered by Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU), Conestoga College, and Six Nations Polytechnic. 

For example, WLU offers complimentary recruitment services to help businesses recruit students.  Services include an online portal (job board), job-fair employer events calendar, and brand building with students.

You can also explore grants and subsidies offered by the federal government when recruiting students.
