The province is seeking proposals from organizations on how to help Islanders impacted by COVID-19 transition into or return to the workforce.
The COVID-19 workforce integration fund will support innovative projects from organizations that help Islanders gain skills and knowledge so they can find long lasting jobs, advance their careers and access entrepreneurship opportunities.
Proposals under the fund should support people and groups most highly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including women, youth, members of the Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) community, newcomers, social assistance recipients and Islanders living with disabilities.
Each approved project will receive up to 100 per cent funding for eligible costs to a maximum of $500,000.
The deadline for proposals is Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. For more details, visit princeedwardisland.ca/workforceintegrationfund.
