Who Is It For?
The program is primarily for Ontario workers who are:
- 18 years of age or older;
- legally entitled to work in Canada;
- laid off from manufacturing, industrial, mining, transportation, resource or related work; or
- unemployed or underemployed and have previous education or work experience in an industrial sector
This program is intended primarily for experienced workers rather than recent high-school graduates.
Help With the Cost of Training
Eligible participants may also qualify for assistance with costs required to participate in training, including transportation, childcare and personal protective equipment.
If you receive Employment Insurance, you may be able to continue receiving EI while participating in approved full-time training. This must be arranged before training starts.
