An Overview of Canada's Job Grant Program avanti.ca
CANADA-NORTHWEST TERRITORIES JOB GRANT
HOW DOES IT BENEFIT EMPLOYERS?
The Canada-Northwest Territories Job Fund is now available, expanding on ECE's programs to
support workplace skills development and training. Employer driven - the employer decides who
gets training and what type of training is required;
"Working with the Government of Canada to help provide responsive and flexible funding programs
that meet the training needs and skills development of our Northern residents is a priority for our
Government. The Canada-Northwest Territories Job Fund is just one of the many programs that
individuals and employers can access and we are happy to be able to continue to work with our
partners at all levels of government to help improve the employability and job satisfaction of all our
residents."
– The Honourable Jackson Lafferty, Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Government
of the Northwest Territories
WHAT IS THE GRANT AMOUNT?
Employers can receive up to two-thirds of the cost of training to a maximum government
contribution of up to $10,000 per grant; employers must contribute the remaining one-third.
Employers may apply for any number of grants, but the maximum government contribution under
the Canada-Northwest Territories Job Grant is $10,000 per unique individual. This maximum
amount may be utilized over a period of time and/or for more than one training opportunity.
