7 New SWPP Partners Announced on World Youth Skills Day
The Student Work Placement Program (SWPP) supports partnerships between industry and post-secondary education institutions to create quality work-integrated learning opportunities for post-secondary students so they can develop work-ready skills required to secure meaningful employment upon graduation. On July 15th, 2021, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) announced over $239.8 million in 2021–22 to fund the Student Work Placement Program, creating an additional 50,000 placements for post-secondary students through both existing and new delivery partners across Canada. Budget 2019 expanded the Student Work Placement Program, by working with seven new partners to provide placements for post-secondary students in fields outside STEM and business such as in the arts, humanities and social sciences. These investments are helping to ensure that work placements are available to every student who wants one.
CEWIL Canada will connect with each of the new SWPP partners in this announcement to obtain more information and will share that with our members as it becomes available.
The seven organizations funded under this announcement will provide work-integrated learning placements for students in the arts, humanities and social sciences fields.
