Strategic Cooperative Education Incentive

The Strategic Cooperative Education Incentive provides private sector, government-funded and non-profit organizations 50 per cent of the required minimum hourly wage of $15.00 an hour for co-operative education opportunities.

This program assists high-value businesses and organizations across the region to recruit and retain students for work placements. Approvals will be based on the opportunity for increased productivity, career-related experience, and future opportunities to retain students in full-time, long-term employment in Nova Scotia.

SCEI combines the province's current non-profit based Co-operative Employment Program and the Private Sector Research and Development Co-operative Program.
