The province is getting $43 million dollars in federal funding for employment and training programs. The agreement between the two governments was signed today and is in addition to the $207 million that will be provided to the province over the next two years under existing agreements.
The funds will go toward increasing workplace literacy, and developing employment action plans. $14 million dollars over two years will help support provincial initiatives that help workers, whether or not they are eligible for employment insurance—and create programs to help retain jobs or make the transition to new ones.
