Ontario Investing $10.9 Million to Strengthen the Health-Care Workforce

A strong health-care system starts with a strong and skilled workforce. Ontario is investing more than $10.9 million through the Skills Development Fund to help nearly 2,000 workers and jobseekers gain the skills and experience needed for rewarding, in-demand careers.

We’re creating more pathways for people to build successful careers while strengthening the workforce families rely on. These projects will deliver specialized training, work placements, mentorship and career supports for nurses, personal support workers, medical laboratory technologists and other critical occupations.

We’re investing in workers at every stage of their careers. That means helping jobseekers enter the sector, supporting upskilling and connecting internationally educated professionals with opportunities.

The Skills Development Fund is delivering results. More than 100,000 participants found employment within 60 days of completing their program through the first five rounds.

We’re building a stronger workforce for the future. By investing in practical, job-focused training, we’re creating new career opportunities and helping families access high-quality care across Ontario.
