IRAP Youth Employment and Skills Strategy: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how tech companies can receive financial support to hire young developers for research and development roles in Canada.
This program provides financial support to tech companies to help them hire young talent for research and development tasks.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for technology companies that are looking to hire young people specifically for roles focused on research and development.
What you get
If you qualify, you can receive financial assistance to help cover the costs of hiring young developers to work within your company.
What it costs you
While the funding helps with hiring costs, you will need to invest significant time into the process. You will face rigorous application requirements and must follow strict reporting rules to maintain the support.
The catch to know
The funding is strictly limited to roles focused on research and development. You cannot use this money to hire staff for general administrative, marketing, or other non-technical business operations.
How to apply
- Confirm that your company is a tech-focused business.
- Identify specific research and development roles for youth within your team.
- Prepare detailed documentation regarding your hiring and R&D goals.
- Contact the relevant government body to begin the application process.
