Job Connect wage incentive training program

Our Job Connect wage incentive program provides an opportunity for you to hire and train a new employee while we cover part of their wages.

Duration and hourly rate of reimbursement is based on the training requirements of the individual. A win-win situation occurs when the worker gains new skills and experience, and the employer gains a trained employee and financial acknowledgement of the time it takes to conduct the training. Simple to use with a minimum of paperwork. We work with you to help ensure the employee’s success. We’ll promptly send your reimbursement.

Eligibility for employers:
Business is registered in Ontario.
Hiring will complement existing staff and not result in lay-offs.
You have WSIB (or the equivalent) as well as third party liability insurance.

Eligibility for new employees:
Currently unemployed and not in school.
Not eligible for Employment Insurance Benefits or WSIB.

Summer Jobs Service
$2/hour wage incentive to hire students

Each summer, over 500 students are placed in summer jobs through our SJS program. As an employer, you can benefit!

How it works Complete a simple SJS employer application. Post your positions with us... receive referrals... hire your students. Some funds are available for you to hire your own students. At the end of the summer, send us the total hours worked by the student and we will send you a cheque.

Applications are available in February.  Apply early as this program is in high demand.

While we have an initial application deadline in early April, some funds are generally available throughout the early summer, depending on demand.

Call or email our SJS co-ordinator for an application or more information.  905-522-4902

Apprenticeship training

Participating in apprenticeship training allows you to develop employees who are not only trained to provincial industry standards, but who also understand your specific workplace.

Our Job Connect wage incentive program can help cover some of the initial training costs of your new apprentice. In addition, the provincial government offers an Apprenticeship tax credit of up to $5,000 per year, for the first 36 months for certain skilled trades.
