Apprenticeship
Incentive Grant (AIG)
|
| Many Canadians who wish to pursue a career in the skilled
trades face financial barriers. That's why the Government of
Canada created the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant (AIG). The
AIG is a taxable cash grant of $1,000 per year for registered
apprentices once they have successfully completed their first
or second year/level (or equivalent) of an apprenticeship program
in one of the Red Seal trades. The AIG is meant to help apprentices
cover some of the expenses related to tuition, travel and tools. |
|
The AIG is meant to:
- Increase access to apprenticeships in the Red Seal trades
by helping apprentices cover expenses such as the purchase
of tools and other materials required for learning on-the-job
and travel expenses associated with classroom training;
- Encourage the apprentices progression through the technical
and on-the-job training requirements in the early years
of their apprenticeship program, building momentum towards
certification;
- Promote interprovincial mobility by increasing the number
of apprentices who remain in the Red Seal trades and get
their Red Seal.
