Workforce training measure

For Quebec employers facing skills gaps, technological change, or retention challenges, investing in employee training can be a practical way to stay competitive while strengthening their workforce. The Workforce Training Measure, delivered by the Gouvernement du Québec through the Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale, is designed to help organizations build employee skills that directly support day-to-day operations and long-term stability. Rather than one-size-fits-all training, the focus is on projects that keep people employed, improve performance, and develop knowledge that can be shared across teams.

This measure supports a wide range of training initiatives tied to actual job requirements, from learning to operate new equipment or technologies to broader professional or foundational skills. Funding support may be available to help businesses define their training needs, carry out a structured training project, and assess its effectiveness once completed. The program places value on training that strengthens internal mobility, allowing skills gained by one employee to benefit others within the organization. Support is non-repayable and tailored to each project, based on business needs, sector priorities, and available budgets.

Available across all regions of Quebec, the Workforce Training Measure can be relevant for small and medium-sized businesses, larger enterprises, and non-profits that want to improve productivity while retaining talent. Exploring the program in more detail can help determine how your training plans might be supported.
