The objective of this Call for Proposals under the Skills for Success (SFS) program is to fund organizations that will help Canadians at all skill levels improve their foundational and transferable skills to better prepare for, get and keep a job, and adapt and succeed at work.
Projects funded under this Call for Proposals will allow the SFS Program to:
- respond to current skills and labour market issues, and
- enable the broad adoption and uptake of the Skills for Success Model
The objective of the Training and Tools Stream is to fund projects that meet 1 or both of the following objectives:
- Objective A: Design and implement training to support individuals to improve their foundational and transferable skills and be better prepared to meet on-the-job demands
- Objective B: Develop assessment tools and training resources

For example between sectors, regions or industries, or with community/non-profit groups supporting targeted population groups and educational institutions and othertraining providers
