You may be eligible for funding to help cover the cost of your Continuing Education courses. Check out the following opportunities to learn more.
Employer support
Many employers offer professional development funding as part of their benefit packages. Check with your employer about funding opportunities available to you.
Canada-Alberta Job Grant
If the courses you take with us are related to your work, your employer (or future employer) may be able to help with funding through the Canada-Alberta Job Grant (CAJG). CAJG is an employer-driven program that covers 2/3 of eligible training costs — up to $10,000 per employee per year. Employers can access up to $300,000 per fiscal year. If hiring and training an unemployed Albertan, up to 100% of training costs could be covered, up to $15,000 per trainee.
A training quote is a requirement of this program — and we can help. Contact us at corporatetraining@mtroyal.ca for more details.
The Canada-Alberta Job Grant is closed for applications until March 31, 2025. This closure is due to the federal government's decision to cut funding delivered under the Canada-Alberta Labour Market Transfer Agreement.
Applications submitted prior to the closure will continue to be processed. For more information please visit alberta.ca/canada-alberta-job-grant.
Canada Training Credit
If you are a permanent resident of Canada between the ages of 26-65 years old and meet the other CRA criteria, you are eligible to claim a tax credit of $250 a year, up to a maximum of $5,000 over your lifetime.
Other funding opportunities
There are funding opportunities that are specific to some of our programs, such as Cyber Security and more. Information is available on the applicable program pages.
