Better Jobs Ontario for Prospective Applicants

Better Jobs Ontario has replaced the Second Career program. The program now offers increased eligibility for the unemployed and underemployed as well as those on social assistance, gig workers, youth and newcomers to Ontario. Please visit georgebrown.ca/better for more information. 

The Ministry of Labour, Trades and Skills Development (MLTSD), will grant each student up to a maximum of $28,000 to cover tuition, books, transportation and living expenses for up to one years.  Students are also expected to make a financial contribution towards their training.
