This blog will explore what COJG is, its eligibility requirements, benefits, application process, success stories, and much more, to help you make the most of this valuable initiative.   What is the Canada Ontario Job Grant (COJG)?

It's a joint initiative of the federal and provincial governments, with the goal of addressing skills shortages, improving workforce productivity, and creating job opportunities.    Eligibility and Requirements To take advantage of COJG, both employers and employees must meet specific criteria. Employers should be willing to invest in employee training and provide at least one-third of the total training cost. Additionally, the training should be delivered by eligible, third-party trainers or institutions. Employees must be permanent, full-time or part-time, and Canadian citizens or permanent residents working in Ontario.   Benefits of COJG The benefits of COJG are manifold. For employers, it's an opportunity to upskill and reskill their workforce without shouldering the entire financial burden. For employees, it means access to valuable training programs that can lead to career advancement and job security. The program is a win-win for both parties, ultimately contributing to Ontario's economic growth.   How to Apply for COJG ...

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY, Call for Proposals OPEN WAGE / FEGC Women and Gender Equality Canada (WAGE) works to advance equality with respect to sex, sexual orientation and gender identity or expression through the inclusion of people of all genders, including women, in Canada’s economic, social, and political life. _____________________ Call for proposals 1: Women’s Economic and Leadership Opportunities Fund (Systemic Change) Women in Canada are more likely than men to have post-secondary education. They are participating in the labour market in record numbers in recent months. However, gaps and barriers remain. These include the impact of poverty on women and the continuing gender pay gap. Family care and other unpaid domestic labour are not shared equally. Women do not have equal access to jobs in higher paying sectors such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Inflation and the rising cost of living further weaken women’s economic security and prosperity. Although more women have become leaders in some sectors, progress is slow. Barriers to women include: - harassment - discrimination - limited access to mentors and networks - lack of flexible work arrangements This call for proposals will support projects that seek to change these conditions. Since diverse women face multiple barriers, we will focus on projects that address this complexity. Call 1: Systemic change: The objective is to address barriers to women’s success. Projects can work to change systems to improve women’s economic security and prosperity. They can also work to increase women’s representation as leaders and decision-makers through changes to systems. The department will support projects under the following two streams: Stream A: for new systemic change projects Stream B: to scale successful systemic change projects to expand their reach and impact _____________________ Call for proposals 2: Women’s Capacity Fund (Capacity-Building) A viable women’s movement in Canada is one that includes a diverse range of organizations and perspectives. Some women’s organizations continue to face challenges, particularly those who work with diverse women. Activities that build the capacity of these organizations will help them support women in the future. This call for proposals will support women’s and Indigenous women’s organizations. We will give priority to projects proposed by those that have never received WAGE capacity-building funding. Call 2: Capacity-building: The objective is to build the long-term capacity of women’s and Indigenous women’s organizations. Note: You can only submit one application for these calls for proposals. _____________________ Deadline: November 3, 2023, at 12:00 pm (noon) Pacific time For more information view our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/dPtF9Emv

(CANADIAN GRANTS BLOG) Introduce Yourself: Unlocking the Secrets to an Effective Grant Search When applying for grants, it's crucial to stand out and make a compelling case for your project. One of the key elements in achieving this is introducing yourself to the granting body effectively. In this blog post, we'll delve into the art of introducing yourself to the granting body, providing you with tips that will help you create a memorable and persuasive first impression. TIP: Research the Granting Body Thoroughly Before you even put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard), it's essential to conduct thorough research on the granting body. Here's how: Understand Their Mission and Values:  Familiarize yourself with the granting organization's mission, values, and objectives. What are their core principles? What causes or initiatives do they prioritize? Tailoring your introduction to align with their goals is the first step in gaining their attention. Identify Their Granting History:  Investigate their past grant recipients and projects. Understanding who and what they've supported in the past can help you position your project within the context of their previous investments. Some organizations will post information from past awards. If you are unable to find information posted on their website feel free to ask! Know Their Expectations:  Review the grant guidelines and any specific criteria they've set for applicants. This knowledge will enable you to address their expectations in your introduction. TIP: Showcase Your Credibility and Qualifications Establishing your credibility is vital in building trust with the granting body. Here's how: Highlight Relevant Achievements:  Mention any relevant achievements, awards, or milestones you have attained. Emphasize Your Team's Expertise:  If you have a team working on the project, emphasize their expertise and experience in the field. This can provide assurance that your project is in capable hands. Share Success Stories:  If you've had prior success with similar projects or initiatives, don't hesitate to share these stories. Real-world successes can inspire confidence in your proposal. Conclusion: Introducing yourself to the granting body is your chance to make a lasting impression and set the stage for a successful grant application, and relationship with the granting agency. By conducting thorough research, and showcasing your credibility, you can create an introduction that resonates with the granting body's values and mission. As you proceed with your grant search, keep these tips in mind, and remember that a strong introduction can be the key to unlocking the funding you need for your important projects. Good luck!
