The Canada-B.C. Job Grant (CJG) is an employer-driven, cost-sharing program that helps employers invest in training for their current or future employees.
CJG assists eligible employers to offset the cost of training up to a maximum of $10,000 per participant per fiscal year, and up to a maximum of $15,000 per participant per fiscal year for the unemployed stream.
The employer contributes at least one-third to the cost of training, with the exception of the unemployed stream. The employer must have a job for the participant at the end of training.
The goals of the CJG are to increase participation of British Columbians in the labour force by helping them develop the skills they need to find and keep a job. The CJG is also an opportunity for employers to invest in training that is better aligned to job opportunities.
ASPECT is a Canada-BC Job Grant Delivery Partner and will assist you with completing and submitting grant applications, assessing skills needs, and developing training plans.
