Individual training grants across Canada
Across Canada, a range of training grants and funding programs are available to help individuals access professional development, short courses and micro-credentials. These programs are designed to support skills development, career transitions and continuing education by reducing the financial barrier to training.
Most individual training grants are funded through provincial workforce development initiatives, student assistance programs or targeted skills strategies. Eligibility, funding amounts and approved training options vary by province, and many programs apply only to specific types of courses or providers. This page highlights training grants for individuals in Canada, with links to official program details and application requirements.
