Canada Alberta Job Grant

The Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG) is a great way for employers to support and invest in their employees with training that meets current or future skill requirements.

Employers

The CAJG is employer-driven which means employers decide what training is required and make the application for funding on behalf of employees.

Employers can get up to two-thirds of training costs reimbursed to a maximum of $10,000 per trainee. Eligible training costs include:

tuition fees
mandatory student fees
textbooks
software and other required materials
exam fees

Employees

Training criteria

For training to be eligible for CAJG funding, it must:

be at least 21 hours in length and delivered by a third-party trainer (like SAIT)
be incremental in that it does not replace prior training investments or regular operational training
be completed within 52 weeks of training program start date
result in some sort of credential (record of completion, certificate, grade, etc.)
start within six months after receiving approval

The location, method of delivery and structure of the eligible training is flexible. Training can be delivered online, on site or in a classroom. It may be undertaken on either a part-time or full-time basis. Check out Canada-Alberta Job Grant for complete details.
