Year Two Review of the Canada-Manitoba Job Grant
SRDC conducted an evaluation of the Canada-Manitoba Job Grant. The review assessed the early results from the first year of implementation of the Canada-Manitoba Job Grant and determined whether the grant is
(1) helping participants develop the skills necessary to find and keep meaningful long-term employment, and
(2) increasing employer investment in training to ensure that skills are better aligned with job opportunities and address labour market demands.
SRDC developed a research framework, designed and implemented follow-up surveys for training participants and employers, analyzed administrative and survey data on participant employment outcomes, and conducted interviews and focus groups with key stakeholders. The findings of the review identify promising practices and challenges and inform adjustments required at a provincial and/or national level to better meet the goals of the Canada Job Grant.
