[BCMA] Fwd: New B.C. Employer Training Grant Streams Open to Applications

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

The Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training (AEST) delivers the
B.C. Employer Training Grant program (ETG) to help employers recruit and
retain employees by providing them with the skills training they need for
employment or to adapt to the changing requirements of jobs.  The ETG is
funded through the Canada-BC Workforce Development Agreement (WDA).



In addition to existing ETG streams, AEST recently expanded the program to
include two new streams:  the *C19 Impacted Worker Training Stream*
and the *Persons
with Disabilities Training Stream.*



*Both new streams are now open to applications. *For information about the
