| THE CANADA-ONTARIO JOB GRANT
The Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG) provides an opportunity for employers to advance the skills of their new employees or current workforce.
Employers can get up to $10,000 in government support per person for training costs.
- Employers can set up training for individual employees or employee groups.
- The training has to be delivered by an eligible, third-party trainer.
- Employers with 100 or more employees need to contribute 1/2 of the training costs. Small employers with less than 100 employees need to contribute 1/6 of training costs.
- For employer groups who want to apply for training supports the government offers a COJG Consortium Stream. The Consortium Stream allows a group of employers (two or more employers) to pool their resources to support common training objectives and goals.
If you’re an employer with a particular skills demand, the Canada-Ontario Job Grant might be right for you. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.

Our employee Jackie was funded to take a Quickbooks course. She is now more competent with Quickbooks and is able to do tasks, for which we previously had to pay an accountant.
As a not-for-profit, our workplace has limited funds for training, but with the assistance of Fleming Crew staff, we were able to secure two COJG grants that meant all six of our direct supervisors are able to benefit from Fleming’s PEAK Leadership training. The training has equipped us with essential skills and knowledge to excel as a leader in any work environment.
