Hire the right FinTech talent to meet your organization’s recruitment needs.
The overall goal of this program is to assist Internationally Trained Professionals (ITPs) who are highly skilled and educated in a financial or technological background to transition into the FinTech industry.
There are no participation fees for employers. In the event that an Innovations in Fintech student gets to participate in a work placement, employers are expected to cover the salary of the employee during the 3-month placement. (A subsidy might be available to certain employers. Please contact FinTech@achev.ca to learn about wage subsidies available to you).
