Overview

The Ontario Job Grant (OJG) provides funding to help businesses train their employees and update their skills. This helps employers ensure their workforce has the right skills to adapt to a changing economy.

The grant lets employers choose who to train, and what skills to focus on to address their needs. Employers can use the grant to train:

• existing employees to upgrade their skills
• new hires, whether currently employed elsewhere or previously unemployed

An approved third-party training provider must deliver the training.

Visit the OJG ontario.ca page for program information, including application guidelines and online form.
