Struggling to find skilled talent while managing tight budgets and limited time? You're not alone — and there’s a smarter solution.
Work-integrated learning (WIL), including co-ops, internships, and student-led projects, offers fast, flexible, and cost-effective ways to build your talent pipeline. But too many businesses miss out simply because they don’t know where to start. That changes here.
This high-impact event was built for business, featuring Andrew Bieler, Director, Research & Programs, BHER.
This session provided direct access to the people, programs, and insights that make WIL work. We learned how to attract emerging talent, tap into available funding, and design placements that deliver real ROI—without adding complexity to your operations.
We walked away with:
- A proven framework to bring student talent into your business with confidence
- Templates, tips, and onboarding strategies that save time and reduce friction
- Clarity on which WIL model (co-op, internship, project-based) fit your needs
- A checklist of funding programs to help lower hiring costs
- New relationships with local colleges, universities, and HR experts
