Types of Training

Training can differ depending on the training requirements, the work environment and the preference of the employer and employee. We have provided an overview of some of the most commonly used types of training.

Federal Workplace Skills Programs

  • This site provides descriptions and examples of policies, programs and practices.
  • Details on how Essential Skills help people participate fully in the workplace and the community and provide a foundation for learning other skills.
  • The FCR Program will improve the integration of internationally trained workers into the work force by working with key stakeholders to implement projects that will facilitate the assessment and recognition of qualifications acquired outside of Canada.
  • Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) work to ensure that foreign workers will support economic growth in Canada and help create job opportunities for all Canadians.
  • The Government of Canada’s Sector Council Program works to enable partnerships that address skills and human resource issues by establishing, developing and supporting national partnerships and the capacity of partners to address both pressing and emerging skills and human resources issues.
  • The Government of Canada is working with key apprenticeship stakeholders, including provincial and territorial governments, to find solutions to ensure an adequate supply of skilled trade workers and to allow qualified, skilled Canadian workers to practice their respective trades anywhere in Canada.

 

  • Through the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant, registered apprentices who complete their apprenticeship training and receive their journeyperson certification in a designated Red Seal trade can receive up to $4,000. These grants encourage Canadians to finish their training and launch rewarding careers in the skilled trades.
