Deadlines & how to apply
SUCCESSOR PROGRAM. The Canada-Manitoba Job Grant has been DISCONTINUED; the official Manitoba page states this plainly. It is replaced by the Building Up Manitoba Program (BUMP). This record has been converted rather than deleted so that Manitoba employers searching for training support are routed to the live program instead of a dead one. Confirm current intake and cost-share terms on the BUMP page before building an application; BUMP's terms are not a like-for-like carryover of CMJG's two-thirds / $10,000 structure.
