Employer questions

The practical details.

BioHubNet leverages Mitacs funding, so participating employers follow Mitacs approval, invoicing and disbursement requirements. The BioHubNet team guides employers through each step.

What candidate materials can employers review?

Profiles may include a resume, interview sample and elevator pitch. Matching tools surface candidates whose experience and keywords align with the employer's job description.

Can an internship lead to a full-time hire?

Yes. Participants may be near graduation or recently graduated, so employers can use the internship to evaluate performance and longer-term fit.

How flexible is the placement structure?

Internships can typically run from 4 to 24 months. Part-time arrangements may be available where the employer, trainee and program agree that the structure is appropriate.

How does Mitacs funding work and how is it disbursed?

BioHubNet leverages Mitacs to co-fund eligible placements. After the project is approved, Mitacs invoices the employer for its required contribution. The employer pays that contribution directly to Mitacs before the internship start date. Mitacs then combines the contribution with the approved funding and forwards the award to the trainee's academic institution, which administers the stipend or salary under its policies and Mitacs requirements. BioHubNet supports the employer throughout the application and funding process.
