SWASP - Paid Employment Component
The Student Work and Service Program (SWASP) Paid Employment Component is

institution.
Who does it serve?
Post-secondary students
Description
Employers receive $4.50 per hour towards the student’s salary for a minimum

In addition to salary, students receive a $50.00 per week tuition voucher for
every week worked under the program. This voucher is provided to students by the
