I work as a Resource Specialist with an Employment Ontario funded agency and I deliver Second Career Information sessions for individuals who are interested in returning to school via government funding. I know there have been a lot of feedback about the Second Career program on RFD: http://forums.redflagdeals.com/secon...edback-719599/ feedback going back to 2009.
With that said, I am familiar with the latest on the program ... I do the financial applications and also deliver information on what you may get in terms of financial support from the government and what is required in terms of eligibility and suitability. If anyone is interested I'm running an info session on Friday September 12th going over how the program works (just PM me if interested, Toronto based). The maximum amount of funding an individual can receive is $28,000 based on meeting eligibility, suitability and financial needs criteria.
Eligibility is pretty simple ... you have to be laid off after January 1 2005, currently unemployed (working less than 20 hours per week or in a survival job) and lack the skills necessary to obtain full time employment. I'm also happy to answer questions here regarding Second Career or any of Employment Ontario funded programs.
