The Apprenticeship Incentive Grant encourages registered apprentices to begin and continue their training in a designated Red Seal trade. The money helps cover some of the expenses related to tuition, travel and tools.
The Apprenticeship Incentive Grant is a taxable cash grant of $1,000 per year for registered apprentices once they have successfully completed their first and/or second year or level (or equivalent) of an apprenticeship program in a designated Red Seal trade, up to a maximum of $2,000 per apprentice.
Through the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant, registered apprentices can receive up to $4,000.
