COJG Program Description

The Grant provides direct financial support to individual employers who wish to purchase training for
their workforce.
Employers choose the individuals they would like to have trained, and the training that
meets their workforce development needs
It is delivered through cost-sharing agreements between individual employers and government:
Large employers (100 or more employees) pay at least 1/2 of direct training costs. Note
that there is additional flexibility for small employers (fewer than 100 employees) to
contribute 1/6 of eligible training costs.
For large employers, Government covers 1/2 of direct training costs, up to $10,000 per
trainee. Small employers who are training and hiring unemployed individuals may be
eligible for 100% funding and up to $15,000 per trainee. The applications with "New Hire"
trainees will be automatically assessed for 100% funding.
The maximum support for textbooks, software and other training materials are $500 for
each trainee.
The maximum allowable support for travel costs are $500 per trainee and is only
supported when the distance travelled is greater than 24 km each way.
If the employer has a travel costs policy, travel costs will be supported according to the
employer's policy up to the maximum $500 per trainee.
Note: Employers are solely responsible to cover the cost of training that falls under the employer
financial contribution. Employers must not ask their trainees to cover any of the training costs.
