CANADA-SASKATCHEWAN JOB GRANT
HOW DOES IT BENEFIT EMPLOYERS?
Saskatchewan's strong and growing economy has increased the opportunities for people across
the province. With more than 10,000 new jobs in Saskatchewan last year alone, the Government
of Saskatchewan is committed to working further with businesses and education training
institutions to better prepare people for jobs, and to increase the number of industry-sponsored
training seats in post-secondary institutions.
The Government of Saskatchewan has partnered with the Government of Canada to introduce
the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant to help employers train workers to meet their specific
workforce needs.
WHAT IS THE GRANT AMOUNT?
To access a Job Grant, an employer is required to contribute at least one third of the training
costs, with the remaining two thirds, up to $10,000, coming from the Job Grant. Eligible training
costs include tuition fees charged by the training provider, other mandatory student fees, textbook
and other learning materials fees, and examination fees.
