For a limited time, subsidies are available to reimburse the cost of required training for the HPCN as well as a portion of employee wages for the time required to complete it.

Important: Reimbursement payments are made to the company, not individual employees. Ensure that the contracting company pays for the required training.

Eligibility

• Subsidies are only available to contractors that are registered in the HPCN. Learn more about registering for the HPCN.
• Subsidies are applicable to HPCN-required training only and are non-transferrable to other training, companies, or individuals.
• Subsidies apply to the first attempt at training only (i.e., first completion of a course or exam whether pass or fail). Any retakes will not be eligible for reimbursement.
• You may not "double dip" on reimbursement with other programs/grants such as the BC Employer Training Grant. You may only request reimbursement for training not already covered by another funder/grant.
• The following table shows the current sectors that are eligible for registering with the HPCN and the potential subsidies available. Check back often for updated information.
