Helping residents of Manitoba get training for guaranteed jobs

March 31, 2014 – Ottawa, Ontario– Employment and Social Development Canada

The Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister of Employment and Social Development, and the Honourable Theresa Oswald, Manitoba Minister of Jobs and the Economy, today signed an agreement in principle on the Canada Job Grant.

Announced in Economic Action Plan 2013, the Canada Job Grant is an innovative way of delivering training that will lead to a guaranteed job. It involves employers in training decisions so that Canadians will be equipped with the skills and training they need to fill available jobs. It is designed to be flexible enough to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes, in all industries and regions.

The Canada Job Grant is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to address the paradox of too many Canadians without jobs in an economy of too many jobs without Canadians.
