Subsidy
Description:
PEI employers who hire students during summer may qualify for the employee wage subsidy offered through two separate student employment programs:

2. Post-Secondary Student Program
Supports full-time post-secondary students working a minimum of 12 to a maximum of 18 weeks during the summer. The exact number of weeks designated per placement will be based on factors such as but not limited to: position, wage, and the likelihood of opportunity for experiential learning.
