Better Jobs Ontario Program Information
Better Jobs Ontario (formerly Second Career) is an Ontario government program that provides skills training and financial support to eligible applicants. The program helps laid-off workers train for a new career.
Eligibility for Better Jobs Ontario funding is determined by Employment Ontario.
These are the guidelines given by the MTCU for the Better Jobs program grant:
You can apply for up to $28,000 for training that is one year or less, or up to $35,000 for programs that are more than one year and up to two years. Funding can help cover tuition, books, student fees, supplies, transportation, and a basic living allowance of up to $500 per week. Additional support may be available for childcare, disability-related needs, and other costs.
The amount of support you receive is based on your individual needs and available funding. For full program details, visit the Government of Ontario's Better Jobs Ontario page: https://www.ontario.ca/page/better-jobs-ontario
