Our Process

grants for small business

1

Recruiting

We support your recruiting process through our University Partnerships.

CO-OP OFFICES

We’re partnered with universities across Canada who have teams dedicated to helping employers like yourself with the student hiring process.

HIRING SUPPORT

Our contacts can help you with creating job descriptions, scheduling interviews, drafting offer letters and coordinating the entire hire process so you can focus on your work.

2

Consultation

We're happy to offer student grant strategy and consulting.

DEDICATED INFORMATION

Every company needs someone in their team who is dedicated to finding, researching and maximizing their grant returns. As a small business your team likely doesn’t have the time and resources to be up to date on the latest changes to grant eligibility, funding amounts, application opening dates and more.

SUPPORTIVE PRICING MODELS

We only get paid when you do.

This means we’re just as invested as you are in finding every dollar available for your business.

3

Approvals

We do all the application writing and management.

LEVERAGING EXPERIENCE

As soon as you’ve chosen the student you’d like to hire, we’ll take over to write your application and make sure it gets approved.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

After that we’ll handle all the deliverables to ensure that learning plans are completed, paystubs are collected and all grant requirements are submitted correctly and on time. Our work doesn’t stop until you get paid.

4

Completion

We will do all the grant troubleshooting and follow-ups.

GUIDES AND CLARIFICATION

Government organizations are notorious for confusing and slow communication. We’ll be there every step of the way for you to forward us all of your grant related emails and receive clear concise instructions on how to proceed.

PROGRAM CONTACTS

If any issues occur during the application process we have contacts at the grant delivery organizations who we can contact on your behalf to provide updates on your application.

Timeline

grants for small business

How long does this process take?

Student Grant intakes are split into Placement Periods (Fall, Winter, Summer) which last for 4 months. Provided the work period doesn’t end early, the total time, starting with the selection of a student candidate, to receiving the payment, will take around 5 months.

When can I expect the money?

After the student has been fully paid for their time working at your business, we submit a proof of the student’s earnings. After 3 weeks* of processing, the funds are released to your account.
