Job Creation Partnership:

Ontario Job Creation Partnerships is an employment program that provides work experience to unemployed job seekers within projects that benefit the community or local economy.

At the end of their participation, participants in the program will have recent work experience and additional skills to add to their résumés, increasing their chances of successfully finding long-term employment.

 

Apprenticeship:

An apprentice is someone who learns a skilled trade on the job, under the direction of more experienced workers. Apprentices also complete classroom instruction as a part of their training. Apprentices are employees, and earn a salary while they learn a skilled trade.

 

Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS):

Each LBS program differs in terms of the range of programming offered, from basic up to a grade 12 equivalency level and in terms of the number of hours of instruction offered per week. Programs provide different types of service delivery, such as one-on-one tutoring, small groups or a classroom setting.

 

Canada-Ontario Job Grant (Employer Specific):

The Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG) provides an opportunity for employers to invest in their workforce, with help from the government.

COJG will provide direct financial support to private-sector, individual employers who wish to purchase training for their employees. It will be available to small, medium and large businesses with a plan to deliver short-term training to existing and new employees.
