CANADA - ONTARIO JOB GRANT
The Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG) provides opportunities for employers, individually or in groups, to invest in their workforce, with help from the government. It provides direct financial support to individual employers or employer consortia who wish to purchase training for their employees. It is available to small, medium and large businesses with a plan to deliver short-term training to existing and new employees. Important to know:
- Employers can get up to $10,000 in government support per person for training costs.
- The training has to be delivered by an eligible, third-party trainer.
- Starting April 1, 2018, the government will improve COJG support for small businesses with less than 100 employees by decreasing their contribution requirement to 1/6 of training costs, and by removing their in-kind contribution requirement. Employers with 100 or more employees will be able to access COJG support with a contribution requirement of 1/2 of the training costs.
- For employer groups who want to apply for training supports the government offers a COJG Consortium Stream. The Consortium Stream allows a group of employers (more than 2 employers) to pool their resources to support common training objectives and goals. To apply as a consortium, the intermediary organization needs to ensure all the participating employers and trainees meet COJG requirements and are able to make their required contribution towards the training cost.
- After April 1, the intermediary organization will be paid 15% of the approved COJG ministry contribution to cover the administrative cost related to the completion of the consortium application.
Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Let us guide you through the application process. Contact us today to learn more.
