Today Marc G. Serré, MP for Nickel Belt, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Official Languages is sharing the opening of call for proposals to the Sustainable Jobs Training Fund (SJTF), which will support a series of projects that offer free or low-cost training to help workers across the country upgrade or gain new skills for jobs in the low-carbon economy.

Eligible proponents for this stream include training institutions and sectoral organizations or associations, Indigenous organizations, or provincial / territorial governments. A dedicated stream for unions and union training centres will open later this Spring.

In particular, the SJTF will prioritize skills training in the following three areas:

• Green buildings and retrofits
• Electric vehicle maintenance and charging infrastructure
• Low-carbon energy and carbon management – Projects that help workers develop skills for jobs in energy-related sectors such as wind, solar, geothermal, hydrogen (including vehicles and related infrastructure) and other low-carbon fuels, in addition to jobs in carbon management, such as filtration or sequestration.

The call for proposals is open until May 15^th, 2024. Find full details and eligibility here: Sustainable Jobs Training Fund - Canada.ca
