Small Business Support

Find Talent. Fund Growth. 

It’s hard to find the right people, let alone the right people with the right skills or training, until now – with Ampere.

Our employer programs offer exactly what you need most, whether it’s wage subsidies to help you hire the people you need, a talent pool of job seekers already trained on the technology you use, or advanced digital skills and AI training to ensure your business is keeping pace and maximizing results.

Digital Works

Support your business and your community by offering wage-subsidized 8-week internships for learners who’ve already received job-relevant digital skills training. Interns gain real-world experience, and you gain a low cost new resource (and potentially a long-term employee).

Green Works

We’re supporting employers and businesses that are helping to grow Canada’s natural resources and green economies. Access wage subsidies to grow your workforce faster, as well as coverage for job-specific training expenses.
