Co-operative
Education Tax Credit
The Co-operative Education Tax Credit
(CETC) was first announced in the 2003
Provincial Budget and is designed to provide
training and work experience for students
to help create more employment opportunities
through co-operative education work placements.
The benefit provides a 10 per cent tax
credit of up to $1,000 per student that
will help to encourage employers to provide
a work placement for co-op education students.
Co-operative education programs formally
integrate academic studies with work experience.
Academic work is alternated with on-the-job
experience in private sector businesses,
industries or governments as approved
by institutions with co-operative education
programs.
In the 2006 Provincial Budget, the Government
announced that the CETC would be expanded
to include private companies, co-operatives,
Crown corporations, municipally-owned
businesses, not-for-profit organizations,
unincorporated employers and to those
corporations and other organizations that
are exempt from income tax.
Co-operative
Graduate Hiring Incentive
The Co-operative Graduate Hiring Incentive
(COGHI) was announced in the 2006 Provincial
Budget and is designed for employers who
hire and retain, in full-time employment
in Manitoba, full-time students who graduate
after March 2006 from a recognized post-secondary
co-operative education program in a field
of studies related to the employment.
The benefit will total 5% of wages and
salaries paid to the graduate in each
of the first two full years of employment,
to a maximum of $2,500 for each year,
where the employment commences within
18 months of graduation.
