Under the program, companies that hire a new employee in a supply chain role can receive up to $12,750 from the CSCSC to help pay his or her wages for a year. More information about supply chain roles can be found on pg. 2 of the CSCSC’s Supply Chain Sector Facts and Figures document.To be eligible, the employee must be a post-secondary graduate of a university, college, association or private-sector program, and be between the ages of 15 and 30.

To participate, companies first enroll in the program, then select a candidate, complete an application form and, if approved, submit proof of wages paid in each pay period. Approval of applications takes just one or two days, according to the CSCSC. Applications are assessed on a first-come, first-served basis.
