Second Career Exceeds Expectations Successful Program Retrains Ontarians For In-Demand Jobs

October 13 – Ontario's Second Career program is helping almost 21,000 people retrain for new careers in high-demand fields.

Second Career helps laid-off workers transfer their skills to in-demand fields such as nursing, information technology, engineering technology, policing and community and social services. The program provides support for things like tuition, books and living expenses that allow workers to participate in long-term training.

Second Career was established in June 2008 -- before the worst of the global recession. The program's three-year goal of helping 20,000 laid off workers has been surpassed after just 16 months.

The government is investing an additional $78 million to help keep up with demand.
