There are two levels of funding available:

The applicant must financially contribute towards the eligible training costs. The contribution amount is based on the department level of funding.

Applicants may receive funding contributions from other federal and/or provincial departments and/or the private sector towards the training provided that the funding is not for the same total costs eligible under the Labour Force Training program, and/or is not being used by the applicant towards their contribution.
