What is the StrongerBC future skills grant program?
As part of the StrongerBC Future Ready Action Plan, the BC government introduced the future skills grant program to support British Columbians, aged 19 or older, in accessing up to $3,500 in short-term skills training opportunities that are aligned with the skills and labour market demands as identified in B.C.’s Labour Market Outlook.
Since its introduction in the fall of 2023, over 7,000 people have accessed the future skills grant, helping people access training opportunities in industries such as health care, firefighting, cybersecurity, and construction.
The grant will continue to play a pivotal role in equipping individuals for current and future job markets, contributing to the province’s economic resilience and global competitiveness.
