Description

Ontario’s Skills Advance Ontario (SAO) program, a sector-based workforce development initiative that funds strategic partnerships between employers and employment and training service providers, will be one of the delivery mechanisms for this initiative and is jointly funded by the Governments of Canada and Ontario.

Eligible Applicants

The program accepts applications from two types of lead applicants — employers and service providers. The lead applicant will be the transfer payment recipient and may partner with other eligible organizations to design and deliver the project.

Applicants must fall under one of the following categories to apply under the employer-led stream or service provider-led stream.

Employer-led stream

Employers are eligible transfer payment recipients in any one of the following cases:

  • they are on active Employment Insurance Work-Sharing agreements
  • they have new or incumbent employees requiring upskilling or reskilling training that could help prevent job losses
  • they have workforce development needs in high-potential sectors

Recognized education and training institutions

Successful employer transfer payment recipients must work with an educational institution or other organization equipped to deliver the required training under the program. For the purposes of this program, educational institutions include:

  • publicly funded post-secondary institutions
  • career colleges that are registered under and in compliance with the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005
  • district school boards
  • Indigenous Institutes

Service provider-led stream

To receive transfer payments under this stream, your organization must be:

  • an employment and training service provider
  • another organization that designs, manages, delivers or coordinates employment and training services and programs, supported by government funding

Eligible organizations include:

  • not-for-profit organization or social agency in Ontario, including Indigenous band offices and Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) agreement holders
  • municipality or District Social Services Administration Board (DSSAB)
  • Consolidated Municipal Service Manager (CMSM)
  • trade union or union-affiliated organization
  • professional / industry / sector associations
  • local / regional Chambers of Commerce or Board of Trade
  • publicly assisted college, university or Indigenous Institute in Ontario
  • career college registered under and in compliance with the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005
  • district school board

Eligible Expenses

Skills Advance Ontario is intended to:

  • support target sector workforce sustainability, resilience and development by funding partnerships that connect employers with the employment and training services they require for their workers
  • help employers access and retain a skilled and adaptable workforce to meet evolving labour demands
  • enable jobseekers and workers affected by trade disruptions, tariffs and evolving global economic uncertainty, to upskill, reskill, and advance
  • support jobseekers and workers to pursue meaningful career pathways spanning entry-level through medium and high-skilled roles by helping them gain essential, technical and employability skills
  • support workers to obtain or retain employment by providing them with sector-specific employment and training services
  • support training opportunities for workers on reduced hours
  • connect jobseekers to employers with identified job vacancies, or advancement opportunities if they are already employed

Deadline Date

Open.
