Funding
Eligibility depends on the program, your role, and your employer. These are the common routes.
The Ontario Job Grant can cover up to two-thirds of training costs for eligible Ontario employers, with a larger share available to smaller organizations.
Ontario RNs, NPs, and RPNs may qualify for Nursing Education Initiative reimbursement of up to $1,500 per nurse per funding year, administered by RNAO and WeRPN, subject to application approval.
Outside Ontario, provincial workforce grants and employer professional-development budgets may apply. Contact us to confirm what fits your course and organization.

Yes. The Ontario Job Grant can fund training for individuals employed by eligible organizations. Ontario nurses can apply for NEI reimbursement up to $1,500/year. Other union and employer PD benefits may also apply. Contact us to help identify what applies to you.
