Enabling Fund for Official Language Minority Communities - Employment Assistance Services
This funding opportunity aims to support Official Language Minority Communities (OLMC) organizations to deliver Employment Assistance Services (EAS) to English-speaking communities in Quebec and Francophone communities outside Quebec in their first official language. EAS includes services such as providing job search assistance, counselling/case management, job placement services, and unassisted services to help individuals prepare for, obtain and/or maintain employment.
Application period:
April 11, 2024 to June 20, 2024 at 1:00 PM, EDT
Funding amount:
Up to $10 million per project, per year. Please note: The program seeks to fund OLMCs across Canada with its budget of $31M in 2024-2025 and $50M annually starting in 2025-2026; therefore, it will aim to provide project funding reflective of the project’s reach in relation to the needs of all OLMCs across Canada.

- OLMC organizations that are not-for-profit
