What is the StrongerBC future skills grant program?

As part of the StrongerBC Future Ready Action Plan, government introduced the future skills grant program to support British Columbians, aged 19 or older, in accessing up to $3,500 in short-term skills training, aligned with skills and labour market demands as identified in B.C.’s Labour Market Outlook.

First introduced in Fall 2023 over 7,000 people accessed the future skills grant, helping people access training opportunities in industries such as health care, firefighting, cybersecurity and construction.  

The grant will continue to play a pivotal role in equipping individuals for current and future job markets, contributing to the province’s economic resilience and global competitiveness.
