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

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.
