Better Jobs Ontario (formerly Second Career) is a government funded program to help recently laid-off, unemployed workers find a new career in an in-demand industry. Successful applicants to the program may receive up to $28,000 in funding to help pay for expenses, such as tuition, books, and child care, associated with the cost of training.

As part of Better Jobs Ontario, we offer free workshops to help you figure out if this is the right program for you.
