Student Work Placement Program
The Student Work Placement Program (SWPP) supports partnerships between employers and post-secondary education institutions, by creating more work-integrated learning placements for students enrolled in post-secondary studies across Canada.
This program is funded by the Federal Government (Employment and Social Development Canada, ESDC) and delivered by the Canadian Council for Aviation & Aerospace, one of 9 delivery partner organizations.

CCAA Jumpstart is a limited-time program that offers employers up to $12,000 in wage subsidies when they hire new graduates and give them their first meaningful work experience.
The Council’s Jumpstart Program is a new initiative for the aviation and aerospace industry that help youth overcome barriers to employment and help them develop the broad range of skills and knowledge they need to participate in the current and future labour markets. The program is open to all new graduates, with a focus on young women and underrepresented youth.
Learn MoreIndustry led Training Program (ILTP)
The federal government announced over $39 million in funding under its new Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program to the Canadian Council of Aviation and Aerospace’s (CCAA) Industry Led Training Program (ILTP) for the aviation and aerospace sector.
The ILTP project will produce over 2000 hours of new digitized training content that will equip employers with the tools they need to provide on-the-job training for its workers. This program is the first of its kind in Canada, and will expand the pathways available for workers to enter the aerospace and aviation sector. This innovative program would not be possible without the support of this investment.
Learn MoreAccelerated Assessment and Certification
The CCAA provides a self-assessment screening tool for individuals looking to enter the Canadian aviation and aerospace maintenance and manufacturing labour market.
Finding skilled aviation and aerospace workers can be challenging at the best of times which is why the CCAA launched its Accelerated Assessment and Certification program.
We work with motivated skilled foreign workers, underemployed or unemployed Canadians to help them enter the aviation and aerospace industry by,
- providing a comprehensive self-assessment screening tool to identify gaps in knowledge;
- working with CCAA staff to expedite their certification towards in-demand occupations;
- providing candidates with advice and guidance they need to achieve full certification,
- matching a candidate’s skills with potential employers.
For employers, CCAA’s AACP means access to pool of skilled candidates matched to a company’s particular needs.
