More people will benefit from training grants

People training for good paying, in-demand careers will be able to access grants that cover most, or all, of their tuition thanks to the next intake of the StrongerBC future skills grant.

This popular grant covers as much as $3,500 in eligible short-term skills training at public post-secondary institutions.

“Because B.C.’s strong economy is growing, we now have more job openings than people with the training needed to work in high-demand fields,” said Premier David Eby. “We need to give people the opportunity to build a good life – and help employers find the people to drive our economy forward and deliver the services we all rely on.”

People 19 and older who live in British Columbia are eligible for these grants.
