Yukon Film — Training Fund

Building a skilled local workforce is essential for a strong screen industry, especially in a smaller market where access to training can be limited. In Yukon, organizations working to develop film, television, and digital production talent can find meaningful support through the Yukon Film — Training Fund. This initiative is designed to help bring practical, industry-relevant training opportunities directly to Yukoners who want to work behind the scenes in screen-based production.

Delivered by the Government of Yukon through Yukon Media Development, the program supports not-for-profit organizations that offer workshops, courses, and other structured training programs tied to the film and digital media sectors. Funding can reach up to roughly $25,000 per project and is intended to cover a substantial share of eligible training costs, making it easier for organizations to hire experienced instructors, develop curriculum, and deliver high-quality programs locally. The focus is on increasing real employment opportunities by strengthening the skills base within the territory.

For not-for-profits involved in arts, culture, workforce development, or media, this fund can be a practical way to expand programming and support long-term industry growth in Yukon. Reviewing the full program details through GrantHub can help determine how your training initiative might align with the fund’s goals and funding structure.
