As small business is a priority sector crucial to B.C.’s economy and labour market, Small Business BC will help small business owners access the CJG. Small Business BC will have dedicated advisors on-site that can:

  • Help develop a training plan that will suit small business owners’ needs
  • Identify appropriate training opportunities and delivery options
  • Explain the CJG eligibility and requirements
  • Assist in completing an application
  • Guide businesses through the reimbursement process

“Training and skill upgrading is one of the most important strategies small business can use to face emerging business challenges,” said George Hunter, CEO at Small Business BC. “The Canada-BC Jobs Grant program will provide the resources necessary to allow small businesses to strengthen their existing workforce thereby making their individual businesses more competitive and productive and as a result better able to pursue growth.”
