Ontario Investing an Additional $160 Million to Train Workers
The government is investing an additional $160 million in the Skills Development Fund (SDF) to tackle the labour shortage and help at least 100,000 workers get free training to meet the needs of employers hiring in their communities.
The funding will prioritize programs that propose innovative training solutions to help people on social assistance and with prior involvement in the criminal justice system find meaningful employment in critical industries like healthcare, auto-manufacturing, information technology, hospitality, and the skilled trades.
