Four reasons to hire from Languages at Work
Wage subsidy
Languages at Work financially assists employers to create employment opportunities for young Canadians. The subsidy will cover 60% of the provincial minimum wage + employer’s mandatory costs (EI, CPP, vacation pay, etc.) In some cases, the student may also be entitled to receive an additional salary increase of $1.00 (subsidized at 60%), and/or an additional salary indexation of $1.35 per hour (subsidized at 100%).Learn about a different region of Canada
Our candidates are from all over Canada, and bring diverse perspectives and experience to the workplace.Some candidates return
Many students in Languages at Work are open-minded, adventurous youth who want to travel. Working with them on a short-term basis is a low-risk way to find star seasonal employees to hire each summer (at your expense).
What our employers are saying
We decided to participate in the program because we realized that with the financial support that came with it, we could support a student, but it would also allow us to support our own projects and programs with extra capacity.
