Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG)

Program Overview

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

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

How employers apply to COJG

Employers that wish to apply for COJG funding must complete an online COJG Employer/Application.
