Summary:
The Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion launched an Open Call for Proposals for the Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program (SWSP). Eligible projects will help connect thousands of Canadians with the training they need to access good jobs in in-demand sectors. Priority will be placed on projects that support underrepresented groups, including women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous people, racialized Canadians, newcomers, and LGBTQ2 Canadians, and will also promote a diverse and inclusive workforce.
