Employers across Ontario can now access significant financial support to train their workforce through the Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG). This government-funded program helps businesses invest in employee development by covering a substantial portion of training costs.
The COJG provides up to $10,000 per employee in funding for short-duration training programs aimed at improving workforce skills and productivity.
Key Benefits for Employers:
- Customized training: You select the training provider and tailor the program to your needs.
- Boost productivity: Equip your employees with the skills needed to stay competitive.
- Reduce training costs: Significant financial support makes employee development more affordable.
Employer Contribution Requirements:
- Large employers (100+ employees) are required to contribute at least 50% of the training costs.
- Small employers (fewer than 100 employees) need only contribute a minimum of one-sixth (approximately 17%) of the costs.
- Small employers training and hiring unemployed individuals may be eligible for 100% funding of training expenses.
This is a valuable opportunity to build a more skilled, efficient, and future-ready workforce while reducing the financial burden on your organization.
