The Government of Manitoba announced a recent federal-provincial job grants program that may help you offset costs of training programs provided by the Propane Training Institute.
The province of Manitoba will invest $8 million to fund the Canada-Manitoba Job Grant. The intent of this program is to help employers offset the costs of training new employees, or costs associated with developing the skills of their existing workers to meet the requirements of their present job or to attain a promotion.
Eligible employers may apply for up to $10,000 per employee to assist with training costs delivered by a third party. Employers with 100 or fewer employees must contribute a minimum of 25 per cent of training costs, and employers with over 100 employees must contribute a minimum of 50 per cent of training costs. Employers can apply for up to a maximum of $100,000 in funding.
Eligible costs include:
The first intake period of 2021 opened Monday, May 3 and a second intake period will open in August. Eligible employers are invited to submit applications continually as training needs arise.
