Employers, employment service and training providers, labour unions, business and industry organizations, municipalities, hospitals, Indigenous Band offices, Indigenous skills and employment training agreement holders, service system managers, and other community organizations in Clarington are encouraged to submit their proposals.

Eligible organizations can apply for funding through Transfer Payment Ontario. Applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis until October 4, 2024.
