Federally sponsored funds are available for companies to train and develop their work force. Companies can receive up to $10,000 per employee to help with training costs of their employees.
The Government of Canada established Workforce Development Agreements (WDAs) with the provincial and territorial governments. Learn more about the WDAs from the official website About the Workforce Development Agreements program.
Highlights of the WDAs from the website are:
- Provide $722 million annually, as well as an additional $900 million over 6 years from 2017 to 2018 up to 2022 to 2023, for the development and delivery of programs and services that help Canadians get training, develop their skills and gain work experience.
- Offer flexibility to provinces and territories to respond to the diverse employment and skills training needs of Canadians.
- Seek to help individuals who are further removed from the labour market, unemployed, underemployed, and seeking to upskill to either find and maintain good jobs or reorient their career.
- Include specific funding targeted for persons with disabilities, and can also be used to provide supports to members of underrepresented groups such as Indigenous peoples, youth, older workers, and newcomers to Canada.
- Support employers seeking to train current or future employees.
