The ASPECT Targeted Skills Shortage Program (TSSP) helps businesses and non-profit organizations grow the potential of their low skilled employees by providing access to government funded training. 

Eligible employees can access up to $1500 in training courses (maximum $7500 per employer).

Our staff will meet with you and your employee(s) to identify what type of training is required. We will then develop a training plan and coordinate the appropriate training courses.

Benefits of Skills Training for your Organization:

• Training demonstrates your commitment to your employees' development 
• Employees realize you are investing in them, they reciprocate with loyalty
• Ongoing training helps to create the reputation of a great place to work and results in less absenteeism and a longer list of job applicants
• Knowledgeable employees make fewer mistakes
• Skilled employees will impress customers and encourage them to come back 
• Increased ability for employees to adopt new technologies and methods
• Training builds a motivated and committed team. It also creates a pool of qualified replacements for employees who do leave
• Increases employee motivation, job satisfaction and morale
