B.C. Employer Training Grant (ETG)

The B.C. Employer Training Grant (ETG) is a cost-sharing grant program that funds small, medium and large enterprises to support skills training for their workforces, including prospective new hires. The program helps British Columbians access the skills training required to adapt to the labour market’s changing job requirements, while also encouraging employer involvement in skills training. The Employer Training Grant helps employers pay for training, which in turn helps employees experience increased job security or move into better jobs. Employers can apply as often as they need and receive 80 per cent of the cost of training up to $10,000 per employee, with a maximum annual amount per employer of $300,000.

This program remains open. Applications for the 2025/26 fiscal year opened in March 2025.
