GEO-Placement Funding Program
Funding for New HQP Hires
The recent application deadline has now passed. Please check back soon on this site for an announcement about the next application cycle for GEO-Placement.
The GEO-Placement Funding Program is designed to create economic value
for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Alberta by facilitating the
engagement and employment of highly-qualified technical and business
geomatics personnel.
The HQP being hired must be a net-new hire with the intention of having
that position serve a long-term business need within the company.
A non-repayable grant up to $50K or 50% of the position salary for a period of one year is available through this program.
GEO-Placement is a high-demand program and has
been used to support more than 100 new jobs in 2010-11 alone. Due to the
significant number of applications TECTERRA receives, TECTERRA
will not renew any previously approved GEO-Placement positions past the
one-year term, nor offer the possibility of extensions to future
GEO-placement positions. This will enable us to provide support to more
Alberta companies, helping them grow their businesses.
We thank those applicants who have already taken
advantage of the GEO-Placement program.
Companies interested in applying for this funding must meet the criteria as described in the full program description. Click the links below for full details.
