Ontario invests $260 million in skills development to boost workforce across key sectors

The Ontario government is launching the sixth round of the Skills Development Fund Training Stream, allocating $260 million to strengthen the province's workforce. This investment, part of a larger $2.5 billion commitment, aims to support innovative projects for hiring, training, and upskilling workers in manufacturing, healthcare, construction, automotive, and skilled trades sectors. Applications from eligible organizations are now open until October 1, 2025, following previous rounds that have already connected thousands of workers with better-paying jobs while maintaining Ontario's competitive edge amid economic challenges.
