Program
NAB College is pleased to assist employers with their Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG) applications.
The COJG provides direct financial support for employers - small, medium and large businesses to deliver short –term training to existing and new employees. This grant program allows employers to choose both the training that meets their workforce development needs and the individuals to be trained.
COJG is a shared investment between employers and the government. Up to $10,000 grant per person trained may be available to employers to re-skill employees in Ontario and bridging skills gaps.
