Employment Training Pilot Program

The Employment Training Pilot Program is a $4 million training program to help women who have experienced abuse or are at risk of abuse to develop new skills, find employment, and achieve economic independence. 

This program is part of the Ontario government’s commitment under the Domestic Violence Action Plan to providing better community supports for victims of domestic violence.
Ten organizations across the province are being supported through this program over two years (2006 – 2008) to deliver employment skills training, education, support and counselling. Each program consists of a three-way partnership between a women’s organization that provides violence against women prevention and support services, a training organization, college or university and an employer(s).

How to apply: Funds under this program are currently fully committed. An evaluation of the program will be completed in 2008, at which time consideration will be given to issuing a proposal call for new/continued projects.

Grant recipients:  Here you will find information on current grant recipients under this program. Please contact the organization directly for more information on its program.
