Employment support in Canada

Employment services are free at the point of use in most provinces and are the usual gateway to training funding.

What service providers do

Career assessment, job search support, resume and interview help, employer connections and referrals to training funding.

Workforce transition

After large layoffs, provinces sometimes run targeted supports for affected workers. Ask whether one applies to your employer.

Employment Insurance

EI is federal. Whether you may continue benefits during training normally depends on prior approval.
