B.C. Employer Training Grant (ETG)

The B.C. Employer Training Grant program (ETG) supports skills training to address provincial labour market needs. The goal is to help British Columbians access the skills training needed to adapt to the changing requirements of jobs and the labour market while encouraging employer involvement in the training of their employees. Training must result in a better job at the applicant’s company once training is completed.

The ETG is a cost-shared program. Reimbursement amounts vary between 60% and 100% depending on the training stream. Employers are eligible to receive up to $300,000 per fiscal year (April 1 – March 31).

Priority is given to first-time applicants, small businesses, applicants from disadvantaged regions and applicants from industries facing the greatest challenges acquiring skilled workers.

There are various streams to address different needs:

  • Stream 1: C19 Impacted Worker Training Stream

  • Stream 2: Workforce Training Stream

  • Stream 3: Technical Training Stream

  • Stream 4: Foundational Training Stream, including 100% of go2HR’s SuperHost Customer Service Training program

  • Stream 5: Employment Transition Training Stream

  • Stream 6: Persons with Disabilities Training Stream
