Ontario Investing $1 Billion in Skills Development Fund to Protect Workers

• As the next step in our plan to protect Ontario workers in the face of U.S. tariffs and economic uncertainty, our government is expanding its Skills Development Fund by nearly $1 billion, for a total of $2.5 billion.
• This funding will help train and reskill more workers, including those directly impacted by layoffs resulting from tariffs, and ensure they have the support they need to find good-paying jobs and help strengthen Ontario’s economy.
• Our government will continue to invest in our greatest resource, our highly skilled workforce.
• Today’s investment strengthens their paycheques and ensures Ontario remains strong in the face of global uncertainty.
