Unlock Funding for Training Through the Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG)

UPDATE: SEPTEMBER 2025

The COJG has been suspended for review. This grant is on hold until further notice from the Canadian Government. 

Did you know your organization could receive government funding to support employee training and leadership development?

The Canada-Ontario Job Grant (COJG) is a government initiative that helps employers invest in their workforce. Through the program, businesses can receive up to $10,000 per employee to cover training costs.

What Does This Mean for You?

If you’re considering one of HPL’s leadership development programs, like ALT, LFTM, Leading Today or Lean 4 Leaders Bootcamp, you may be eligible to have a significant portion of the costs covered by the COJG.

Funding Highlights:

• Covers two-thirds of training costs for most employers (up to $10,000 per employee)
• Small businesses (under 100 employees) that train and hire unemployed individuals may be eligible for 100% coverage
• Funding is available year-round (first-come, first-served)

Who Can Apply?

Most private and non-profit employers in Ontario are eligible, provided they:

1. Are licensed to operate in Ontario
2. Are applying to train employees currently on payroll or newly hired
3. Are in good standing with the Ministry of Labour

�� HPL clients have successfully used COJG to attend our programs. We’re happy to support you through the application process.

Please note that if you choose to apply for the COJG, only employees who receive a certificate of completion are eligible for this grant. The grant is awarded by the government of Ontario and is paid out after proof of successful program completion.
