UPDATE June 2010

All of the spots available have been filled to meet March 31st 2011 year end funding!

The response to ICTC’s Career Focus Program has exceeded expectations!  We are pleased to announce that 70 additional graduates have found work experience placements with 35 Canadian companies.  The placements have made full use of the funding made available through the Government of Canada’s Sector Council Program.

Please refer back to our website the future to find out if new funding will be made available for Career Focus Program.  More funding will be available April 1st, 2011.

IT employers, who would like more information, can contact Adèle Descarie, Program Manager, at 613-237-8551 ext 139 direct line 613-834-6871or a.descarie@ictc-ctic.ca.

Look back at 10 years of Career Focus successes.
ICTC provides eligible companies with a subsidy equal to one-third the eligible participant’s salary, to a maximum of $10,000 over a maximum one-year work experience period. This subsidy is paid in instalments throughout the work experience period, with the amount calculated using payroll data for the participant.

This offers employers the benefit of gaining employees with cutting-edge skills, and gives participants valuable experience within a work environment. Frequently, companies will retain graduates as full-time employees upon completion of the work experience period.
