The Canada Job Grant program exists in all Canadian provinces and territories under different names. The program is a cost-sharing initiative between the federal, provincial/territorial governments, and employers designed to help businesses train existing or new employees for jobs.

Each jurisdiction is responsible for implementing and administering the program, leading to slight variations in eligibility requirements, funding maximums, and application processes.
