The world is changing and those changes are accelerating rapidly. More than ever, a skilled and empowered workforce is the greatest asset for creating outstanding business results in the 21st Century.
The Canada-Ontario Job Grant provides an opportunity for employers to invest in their workforce, with help from the government.
The Job Grant provides direct financial support to individual employers who wish to purchase training for their employees. It will be available to small, medium and large businesses with a plan to deliver short-term training to existing and new employees, and will:
- Provide up to $10,000 in government support per person for training costs.
- Require employers to contribute one-third of the total costs. There will be additional flexibility for small businesses to provide an in-kind contribution towards their share of the costs.
- Require training to be delivered by an eligible, third-party trainer.
