DRESDEN, Germany — Ontario is set to put $160 million toward skills training programs, prioritizing help for people on social assistance and people with criminal records.
Labour Minister Monte McNaughton is set to announce the fourth round of funding through the Skills Development Fund today.
The announcement brings the total for Skills Development Fund training to more than $860 million, with 596 projects in a variety of sectors supported so far. He says around 40 per cent of people with a criminal record can't get a second interview when job hunting, so he is calling on organizations to submit proposals to help them find meaningful work while also addressing labour shortages.
