What Is Happening?

The Government of Ontario is launching the redesigned Canada-Ontario Job Grant program under the new name Ontario Job Grant (OJG). The OJG provides funding to help employers train their employees and update their skills. This helps employers ensure their workforce has the right skills to adapt to a changing economy.

OJG is intended to:

  • Help employers retain a skilled and adaptable workforce able to meet evolving labour and market demands;
  • Connect unemployed people to the job market by supporting upfront skills training upon recruitment; and,

Bolster Ontario’s economy by ensuring that small and medium-sized employers can access essential and technical skills training in a timely manner to upskill, reskill, and advance their workforce.

Where Can I Find More Information?

Information for service delivery partners, including the OJG Application Guidelines, are now available on the Employment Ontario Partners’ Gateway.

Information for employers and jobseekers is available on the OJG page on Ontario.ca.

Prospective applicants can apply through the web portal.
