Wage Subsidy

This Wage Subsidy is designed to help Métis individuals enter or return to the workforce by participating in a practical work experience. The employer will prepare the trainees for the labour market by using and enhancing their skills.

The objective of the Wage Subsidy is to assist Métis individuals to make the transition to career-related employment and provide them with marketable skills and experience that will likely lead to long-term employment.
