Staffing UP
$10,000
Subsidy
Description:
The Staffing UP program can help you as an employer to:
• find, hire, and keep workers that are a good fit for your organization;
• train new or existing workers to meet your needs;
• develop workplace supports to accommodate your staff;
• enhance your human resource knowledge and practice;
• get and use labour market information; and
• connect with other employers to find and keep workers.
Comments on Funding:
1. For wage subsidies for new hires to address the Government of Yukon priorities, we’ll consider funding many positions. Depending on demand, some of your positions might be put on a waitlist. We’ll re-evaluate the available budget every 2 weeks and re-consider eligible jobs if funds are available.
2. For training projects, employers are limited to the lesser of 3 funding agreements or $10,000 in support per fiscal year.
