Ontario introduces $2.4 million in tech training and clear pathways for veterans' civilian job transitions.

Ontario has launched initiatives under the Honouring Veterans Act, 2024, to help Canadian Armed Forces members and veterans transition into civilian jobs, especially in tech and skilled trades. The province will provide $2.4 million for free tech and cybersecurity training and has recognized nine trades with clear pathways. Military credentials will be streamlined for faster civilian recognition, and a 30-day assessment period for credential equivalency is mandated. Programs like Helmets to Hard Hats and Coding for Veterans will assist veterans and their spouses in finding stable careers.
