Employment and Social Development Canada launched a Call for Proposals for the Canada Retraining and Opportunities Initiative, which provides funding for projects to reskill Canadian workers in communities significantly impacted by mass layoffs. The funding will be provided to projects that bring together community-based organizations that provide new skills training opportunities for workers. The purpose of the initiative is to bolster communities by complementing existing supports to help displaced workers transition into new jobs.
Eligible Organizations:
- Not-for-profit organizations
- For-profit organizations
- Municipal governments
- Indigenous organizations or governments
- Educational institutions
Application Deadline: March 31, 2025 (The call may close earlier if funding has been fully committed).
