The Ontario Job Grant has officially relaunched, replacing the former Canada Ontario Job Grant. The update reflects Ontario’s role in delivering the program, while continuing to offer the same support for employer-led training.
Applications are now open and accepted on an ongoing basis.
What this means for your business
The Ontario Job Grant helps employers cover the cost of training to help you upskill your team and stay competitive. Here is what makes the program valuable:
- Up to $10,000 per employee for training
- Higher funding available for small businesses and new hires
- Potential for full funding when hiring and training previously unemployed individuals
- Employer driven so you choose the training that fits your needs
- Supports both current employees and new hires
Who can apply
The program is open to private and non-profit employers in Ontario who have been operating for at least one year and meet eligibility requirements. Training must be delivered by an eligible third-party provider and completed within a set timeframe.
Why it matters
As industries evolve, access to the right skills is critical. The Ontario Job Grant helps employers respond to change, improve productivity, and retain talent by investing directly in their people.
