The Ontario government is investing $575,000 to help Canadian Armed Forces members turn the skills they developed during their service into the postsecondary credits they need to land in-demand jobs. This investment will make it easier and faster for veterans and other military-connected learners to transition to civilian life, while building on the province’s historic measures and investments to build a strong, resilient workforce that can support the most competitive economy in the G7.

“Our government will always stand up for those who have put their lives on the line to protect Ontario,” said Nolan Quinn, Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security. “By recognizing the valuable skills veterans have gained through their service, we’re helping them enter rewarding and in-demand careers faster while strengthening Ontario’s highly skilled workforce.”

This Veterans Week, Ontario is proud to honour veterans and their families by helping them find rewarding careers that reflect their skills and dedication. Recognizing military experience as part of Ontario’s postsecondary system supports the province’s broader strategy to address the need for skilled trades workers for in-demand jobs and deliver on its more than $201 billion plan to build more hospitals, schools, highways and other important infrastructure.
