Interested employers must complete the Employer Application Form and obtain a Training Provider Quote. For more detailed information on how to apply, view the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant Applicant Guide.

Each application can only have one training provider quote attached to it. Only fully completed applications will be accepted for assessment. Applications will be accepted, assessed and approved based on available funding.

Please note that a completed application is not a guarantee of funding. Training requests must be approved and a contract negotiated between the employer and the Government of Saskatchewan to be eligible for program funding.
