Wage Subsidies for BC Manufacturers

Unlock Funding for Hiring

Are you a manufacturer in British Columbia looking to strengthen your workforce without stretching your budget?

Virtual

Join us for an informative webinar where we break down powerful funding programs designed specifically for the manufacturing sector: BC Youth in Manufacturing Initiative, WILWorks Skilled Trades in Advanced Manufacturing, WILWorks Post Secondary, Empower3D, HerJourney, and Learning Differences, offered through EMC. Most of these programs offer substantial wage subsidies and training support for hiring youth, students, and recent grads, helping you build your talent pipeline while reducing employment costs.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to access up to $7000 for hiring eligible youth
  • Steps to apply and qualify for both programs
  • Real-world examples of how BC manufacturers have benefited from these programs
  • Best practices for integrating funded placements into your hiring strategy

Whether you’re actively hiring or planning for future workforce needs, this session will equip you with the tools to make the most of available government support.

Who should attend?
HR professionals, hiring managers, plant managers, and business owners in the BC manufacturing sector.

Don’t miss this chance to boost your hiring power—register now and start saving while building the next generation of manufacturing talent.
