The Provincial associations have all been receiving training applicants who are being funded by the various federal/provincial job grants that are currently available.  This is a good opportunity for small businesses to have their employees and even family member employees participate in training at no cost to themselves.

The funding is typically up to $10,000 per applicant and there are a variety of training opportunities that are eligible for the grants.  Training must involve more than 24 hours of contact/study.
