In an effort to create a good ICT Ignite Plus experience for all parties, we have Terms and Conditions, which can be found here. Please take a moment to read through them. You will be asked to sign the T&Cs agreement before you can apply to an employer project.
Each Learner will be paid for the project in the form of a stipend. Each learner is required to complete 80 hours of work and the exit survey to receive their $2,000 stipend. ICT Ignite Plus operates on a 21-day payout period for learners completing ICT Ignite Plus projects. Your stipend will begin to be processed when the ICT Ignite Plus employer you worked with provides feedback on your project submission.
ICT Ignite Plus is offered as part of the ICT Boost Initiative. Funded in part by the Government of Canada's Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program (SWSP).
All ICT Ignite Plus projects can be completed 100% remotely. With direct integrations to Google Meet and Zoom, all of your meetings can be hosted online from anywhere in the country.
