TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SECOND CAREER IN ONTARIO

The Second Career strategy launched by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities pays for the training or education that Ontarians require to get a better job. It provides financial help up to $28,000, or more in some cases, to pay for:

• » Tuition
• » Living Expenses
• » Help caring for dependents
• » Travel
• » Transportation
• » Disability supports
• » Other living and training costs
• » Books

Those who qualify may have some or all of these costs covered within the Second Career Strategy. In order to find out if you qualify for Second Career or any other government funding, all candidates must visit a Employment Ontario assessment centre for an assessment interview.
