BC Tech Co-op Grants Program
For Small Technology Firms 
 
The BC Tech Co-op Grants Program is delivered through co-op departments at BC post-secondary institutions. It encourages student training and job readiness through work terms with small technology firms.
 
Who’s Eligible?
Small technology companies are matched with first-term co-op university students. If it is the company’s first co-op employee in five or more years, they are matched with students of any term.
Benefit to Companies
Companies gain access to enthusiastic and innovative talent at an affordable cost, the opportunity to train students to meet their needs, and vet co-op placements for potential future hiring.
Funding
Employers receive a BC Tech Co-op Grant of $2,700, which is up to 25% of the student’s salary, with the remaining 75% to be paid by the employer. This is equivalent to about one month’s salary of a typical four-month (16 week) work term
