Info Session -- Hire Students to Support Your Non-Profit

Is your non-profit seeking post-secondary students to support your organization?

ACE-WIL BC (Association for Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning BC/Yukon) has launched a new program called Talent 4 Non-Profits to support non-profit organizations to hire students for work-integrated learning opportunities, including co-op terms, practicums, internships, and more.
