The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development’s (MLITSD’s) Achievement Incentive (AI) program supports employers, including those in group sponsor arrangements, by providing a financial incentive when apprentices meet specific training and certification milestones. The program aims to address the anticipated labour gaps and barriers faced by both sponsors and apprentices by:
- Helping sponsors address skills shortages, increase apprenticeship training progression and completion, and offset hiring, on-boarding, and training costs.
- Increasing the number of apprentice registrations, including those from under-represented and equity-deserving groups.
- Providing a financial incentive to facilitate apprenticeship progression and increase certification rates.
- Addressing employment-related apprenticeship training barriers such as lay-offs and the scarcity of trainers/journeypersons in trades subject to ratios.
