B.C. Employer Training Grant

B.C. Employer Training Grant es un programa de tipo subvención administrado por el Gobierno de Columbia Británica (WorkBC), disponible para empresas de Columbia Británica. Funding for employee training in British Columbia.

The B.C. Employer Training Grant provides funding to small, medium and large enterprises to support skills training for their workforces, including prospective new hires. The intent of this program is to help 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.

Una subvención no es reembolsable: una vez aprobada, los fondos no deben devolverse, aunque la mayoría de los organismos exigen informes de avance o finales.

Los programas provinciales como este suelen exigir que el solicitante esté registrado y opere en Columbia Británica, y a menudo se acumulan con programas federales como SR&ED y NRC IRAP.
