To increase the amount of training available to Canadians, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) launched a call for proposals (CFP) for the Skills for Success Program. There are two streams of funding available. The objective of the Research and Innovation Stream is to fund projects that support research and innovative projects to identify better ways of helping persons prepare for, return to or keep employment and be productive participants in the labour force. The objective of the Training and Tools Stream is to fund projects that meet one or both of the following objectives: Objective A: Design and implement training to support individuals to improve their foundational and transferable skills and be better prepared to meet on-the-job demands, Objective B: Develop assessment tools and training resources. The deadline is March 9.
