The Better Jobs Ontario program (previously known as “Second Career”) provides eligible applicants with financial support and skills training for in-demand jobs. The program is geared to individuals who are laid-off, unemployed or who may face barriers to entering the labour market, including newcomers, people with disabilities, youth, gig workers and social assistance recipients.

- have been laid-off and have not been working or are working a temporary job just to cover costs
- have not been laid-off but have been unemployed for six months or longer and are part of a low-income household
You can still apply if you receive:
- Employment Insurance (EI)
- Ontario Works (OW)
- Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP)
