Magnet is providing dedicated funding for employers to hire Lakehead University students into positions related to their field of study, either part time or full time. Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) at Lakehead has reserved 60 wage rebates for Faculty of Business students and additional rebates have been reserv...ed by the Lakehead’s Office of Co-operative Education. Employers are eligible for a rebate of 75% of wages, up to $7,500. The funding can be applied retroactively to student positions from this past summer or for positions starting this fall. For non-profit organizations, WIL at Lakehead has some funds available that could be used to support the non-profit’s 25% contribution student wages.
