Canada Job Grant

Having the right skills helps employees excel and succeed in today’s fast-paced labor market.

How does the Canada Job Grant work?

As an employer, you are in the best position to identify the skills your business needs or areas where you are having difficulty finding workers with the right skills.

The Canada Job Grant offers funding toward the cost of training provided by eligible third-party trainers. The total cost of training will be shared between the Government of Canada and employers.

The Government of Canada could provide two-thirds of the cost of training, up to a maximum of $10,000 per grant. Employers will be required to contribute the remaining one-third of the training costs.

Small businesses with 50 or fewer employees could also benefit from flexible arrangements, such as the potential to count wages as part of their employer contribution.
