SkillsAdvance Ontario Pilot
The SkillsAdvance Ontario (SAO) pilot project is intended to support
workforce development in identified key growth sectors.
It funds partnerships that connect employers with the employment and
training services required to recruit and advance workers with the
right essential, technical, and employability skills. It also
supports jobseekers to obtain employment by providing them with
sector-specific employment and training services, and connecting
them to the right employers.
SkillsAdvance Ontario embodies a sector-focused strategy that takes
into consideration the dynamic nature of regional economies and
labour markets, as well as the evolving requirements of different
industrial sectors. SkillsAdvance Ontario projects provide the
ministry the opportunity to test the effectiveness and efficiencies
of sector-focused, partnership-based programming.
