## About This Program

Subsidy to hire students for mining jobs

## Details

Funded by the Government of Canada through Employment and Social Development Canada’s Student Work Placement (SWP) Program, Gearing Up helps students develop skills and experience through WIL – aiding in their transition to long-term employment in the mining sector or the pursuit of advanced studies upon graduation. While Gearing Up is open to all eligible students, the program also encourages participation by underrepresented groups such as women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, recent immigrants, first-year students and members of visible minorities. The number of placement subsidies available each year is contingent on federal program funding.
