WILWorks SWPP – Post Secondary Students – Important Update:
Summer 2025 Placement Term – May 1 – August 31:
We are pleased to announce the WILWorks Post Secondary SWPP platform is now open for eligible net new applications for the upcoming Summer 2025 term.
Funding is limited and applications must meet Net New requirements for the new Government of Canada fiscal year – 2025-2026. As there is a very high volume of interest, we will transition to a waitlist once the limited funding target is met. Applications received will be reviewed and assessed based on program eligibility criteria and regional funding availability.
Through EMC's WILWorks Program, since 2020, EMC has supported the placements of over 5100 students and has delivered over $31,000,000 to the manufacturing sector.
Access New Talent
The WILWorks Post Secondary (SWPP) Program is designed to incentivize employers to offer more student positions than they did before leveraging funding.
This was my first time using the EMC WILWorks program and I was extremely satisfied with the overall experience. Wendy and the other program administrators were very friendly and always willing to help you with any questions you may have. The instructions are very clearly explained on the website and the process was easy to follow. Once I submitted the documents required, the approval was super quick. Great work EMC team! - Warren Andrade, PINPoint Information Systems Inc.
