Thank you for the question.
We know that students are in non-traditional academic cycles. Students may have breaks between academic semesters that may exist within the fall semester and may exist within the winter semester, and they need work during those breaks in their academic learning. It's similar to the historical model being summertime, when most post-secondary students would be looking for work, but they are available in the fall and winter and in greater numbers.
Similarly, this program, the wage subsidy, supports employer and industry access to youth talent and provides students with quality work experiences. As we know, industry and employers have projects and have work all year long, and it does seem that there might be an opportunity to consider extending the program across all three semesters. That would meet the needs of employers who have work in the fall and winter for students, and it would meet the needs of students who are on academic breaks in the fall and winter.
I hope that answers your question.
