Created specifically for the tourism sector, the Propel Student Work Placement Program connects employers with post-secondary students looking to complete a paid work-integrated learning opportunity: a co-op placement, an internship, and more.
Numerous tourism-related businesses across Canada are benefitting from these placements and the accompanying wage subsidies, helping to ensure they have a skilled team ready to meet rebounding visitor demand.
Shawn Moen of 9 Mile Legacy Brewing shares the value of mentoring early talent and how on-the-job experience boosts not just students’ learning, but the full staff’s professional development. The CEO and co-founder of the Saskatoon-based brewpub also explains how it’s a way of giving back to his alma mater.
