The province is getting $43 million dollars in federal funding for employment and training programs.
The agreement between the two governments was signed today (yesterday) and is in addition to the $207 million that will be provided to the province over the next two years under existing agreements.
The funds will go towards increasing workplace literacy, and developing employment action plans.
$14 million dollars over two years will help support provincial initiatives that help workers, whether or not they are eligible for employment insurance---and create programs to help retain jobs or make the transition to new ones.
