NOHFC People & Talent, Workforce Development Stream (internships)

by Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation

NOHFC's Workforce Development Stream subsidizes internship salaries at Northern Ontario employers, reported at up to roughly $35,000 per intern per year. The EMPLOYER applies, not the jobseeker. Intake is continuous but the program is capacity-limited: being eligible does not guarantee funding, and allocations run out, so early application matters.

Amount
Up to $35,000 ~up to $35K/intern/year; higher subsidy percentage for non-profits (reported) This award range, $35,000, against every tracked amount from $1,000 to $500,000,000, on a logarithmic scale.

Against all tracked amounts, $1,000 to $500,000,000, logarithmic.
