Second Career Program / Better Job Ontario Program

Overview

The Ontario Government has designed the Second Career program to assist unemployed workers attending long-term training, which will help them make a new direction to the economy’s trending areas. The Ontario Government will provide tuition, living expenses, and transportation for the qualified candidate. Many students utilize the second career grant to cover the full or partial payments of their program. NACPT provides additional support to all potential students in the second career / better job Ontario program application process.

Eligibility Criteria

The second career strategy will either wrap some or the entire expense of the qualified people. To make sure that you qualify for second career aid or any other government funding, visit an Employment Ontario assessment center for an assessment interview.

There are certain norms delivered by the Ontario Government for candidates opting for a second career. They are listed below.

Eligible individuals are those who have been laid-off on or after January 1, 2005 – including Employment Insurance (EI) active claimants, EI “reach backs,” and non-EI-eligible individuals – who require skills training for employment in-demand occupations in Ontario.
“A Laid-off worker” is an individual who has been laid off on or after January 1, 2005, including someone who:
Who are still unemployed
Who has taken one or more interim jobs but still unemployed
