Hire a student or recent graduate for a summer work term and the Government of Nova Scotia will cover part of their wages.

Employers will receive a 50% subsidy (up to $10.00 an hour) for students and recent graduates. They’ll receive an increased subsidy of 60% (up to $12 an hour) for students or recent graduates who self-identify as Mi’kmaq or Indigenous, a woman in an underrepresented occupation, visible minority, African Nova Scotian, or a person with a disability. The 2025 funding period is from 21 April 2025 to 29 August 2025. Employers can hire current students (including co-op students) and recent graduates who graduated within 18 months before starting the work term at a Nova Scotia postsecondary institution. First-time applicants are eligible for an additional 10%. Students and recent graduates must start their work terms by June 9, 2025. Universities may have specific requirements for co-op students.

Un subsidio salarial reembolsa una parte del salario de contrataciones elegibles (a menudo estudiantes, recién graduados o grupos subrepresentados) durante un período fijo.

Los programas provinciales como este suelen exigir que el solicitante esté registrado y opere en Nueva Escocia, y a menudo se acumulan con programas federales como SR&ED y NRC IRAP.
