In recent years, the tourism industry has faced increased difficulties recruiting staff. The job vacancy rate rose sharply between 2016 and 2019 and there was serious concern the shortage could ultimately impact the tourism industry’s ability to  grow in the future.

Propel Student Work Placement

Propel offers tourism and hospitality employers access to up to $5,000 in wage subsidies when they hire a post-secondary student for work-integrated learning: an internship, a co-op placement, a work experience placement, and more.

The many benefits? Students gain paid hands-on learning and mentoring in their field of study. Employers acquire much-needed early talent to help with the recovery of the industry, as well as assistance with wages. Post-secondary institutions complement their programming by connecting students and the workplace.
