The Student Work Placement Program (SWPP) is a joint initiative between the CCAA and Employment and Social Development Canada.

This program is funded by the Federal Government (Employment and Social Development Canada, ESDC) and the CCAA is the official delivery partner for the aviation and aerospace sector. The program helps post-secondary students get the experience they need to prepare for jobs in these high-demand fields. There is funding available for part-time and full-time students registered in programs other than STEM and business.

Work-Integrated Learning refers to a continuum of learning opportunities ranging from structured work experience to instances where the employer engages directly with the post-secondary education institution to address a particular challenge. It can include co-op placement, internships, field placements, or applied projects to solve particular problems for employers.
