The Sustainable Jobs Training Fund (SJTF)

The Sustainable Jobs Training Fund (SJTF) will support eight projects  with over CA$75 million in total funding to help more than 10,000 workers upgrade or gain new skills for low-carbon economy jobs. The projects are focused on one of the three following areas: 
1) Low-carbon energy and carbon management: projects to help workers develop skills for jobs in emerging industries and sectors related to the low-carbon agenda such as hydrogen, geothermal, wind, solar, carbon management, utilization and storage.  
2) Green buildings and retrofits: projects that help train a workforce to build and retrofit homes and buildings to reduce energy consumption and achieve low-carbon performance, such as the installation of low-carbon heating (including heat pumps), energy efficient components and renewable energy systems. 
3) Electric vehicle maintenance and charging infrastructure: projects that help train the workforce across Canada to support the country’s transition to electric vehicles with a focus on the repair and maintenance of electric vehicles and national charging infrastructure.
