Talent Opportunities Program

Are you an employer hiring post-secondary students on work placements? If so, you may be eligible for a wage subsidy of up to $7,500 per student!

The application portal is now open. Click here to apply for the Talent Opportunities Program.

The Talent Opportunities Program (TOP) is an initiative of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce designed to help employers located anywhere in Canada hire college and university students on work placements. Employers hiring eligible students may receive a wage subsidy up to 75 per cent (up to a maximum of $7,500) per placement.

Employers must be a registered Canadian business or not-for-profit organization, may be located anywhere in Canada, and may operate in any industry sector. Some restrictions apply. Please see the TOP Handbook for full details.

Students hired on work placements must be registered at a recognized Canadian college or university, be enrolled in a program or course where a work placement is part of their study plan, and be Canadian citizens, permanent residents or persons to whom refugee protection has been conferred under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Please refer to the TOP Handbook for more information about the program and the application process. Please review the TOP Handbook prior to starting an application.

TOP is a program delivered by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce with funding from the Government of Canada’s Student Work Placement Program.


For EMPLOYERS

If you are an employer and you meet the criteria for a wage subsidy, you are eligible to apply for this program.

For STUDENTS

If you are a post-secondary student interested in gaining paid work experience related to your field of study, connect with your school to see if placements are available. If you are already on a work placement, let your employer know that they may be eligible for a wage subsidy from TOP.

For POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS
