Employment Enhancement Program

The Employment Enhancement program supports employers in the forestry, aquaculture, agriculture, and fishing sectors, who are engaged in value-added secondary processing, by providing funding to create long-term or seasonal jobs and offering a training allowance for new employees. 

How does it work? 

• Wage Subsidy: 75% of wages, up to $15/hour, for 10-28 weeks. 
• Training Allowance: Up to $3,000 for the individual hired.
