Through Job Bank, employers and workers will have access to a dedicated Training Finder and links to courses. ESDC said this is intended to help workers \u201cbuild new skills for the future\u201d while remaining attached to their current employer.<\/p>\n
\u201cCanadian workers are the backbone of our economy, driving success in every corner of our country,\u201d Hajdu said in the release. \u201cBy investing in skills, training, and growth, we are equipping workers with the tools they need to succeed today, and the confidence to lead tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an article posted on LinkedIn, Andrew Easto, a pensions, benefits and compensation lawyer in the Hicks Morley\u2019s Toronto office, shared that eligible employers can apply for the Grant by email. The email must include the following information:<\/p>\n
\n\t

\u201cThis Grant will improve the attractiveness of Work-Sharing agreements for employers by supporting workforce retention and skills development,\u201d he said. \u201cThis will enable employers to maintain a more skilled, adaptable, and engaged workforce while minimizing operational and retention risks. The enhanced income replacement available to participating employees will soften the financial impact of Work-Sharing on your employees.\u201d<\/p>\n
