The Canada Job Grant

The Canada Job Grant provides opportunities for employers, individually or in groups, to invest in their workforce, with help from the government, offsetting up to 2/3 of the cost. Rotman Executive Programs is a recognized training provider for our open enrolment and custom programs.


OSAP Funding for Micro-Credentials

The Ontario Student Assistance Program has recently began to offer funding for micro-credentials, including a limited number of Rotman Initiative for Women in Business Programs. This new resource is part of Ontario’s micro-credentials strategy, helping learners access more opportunities to train or upskill for in-demand jobs through loans and grants. This micro-credential benefit refers specifically to short, professional development programs like those offered through Rotman Initiative for Women in Business Programs.

Visit the OSAP Micro-Credentials website to confirm if a Rotman Initiative for Women in Business Program is eligible and for OSAP information and application instructions. 

 

How to Enrol

Once you have selected a micro-credential program and confirmed its OSAP eligibility, apply for the program. 

Log-in to your OSAP account to apply for funding for micro-credentials.

The process requires you to fill out a form from University of Toronto Enrolment Services, which you can download here. If you are having trouble, please send the form to women.initiatives@rotman.utoronto.ca with your information to get assistance in completing the form. 

For questions regarding the OSAP Micro-Credential funding, eligibility or application process, please contact UofT's Enrolment Services directly at http://uoft.me/enrolment-services, or by phone at 416-978-2190 for assistance.

Participants are responsible for understanding and abiding by Rotman Initiative for Women in Business application policies and OSAP's eligibility requirements and terms.
