Agriculture Labour Sub-Program

A new program is aimed at helping PEI’s agriculture industry build capacity and improve training for those working in it.  Ottawa and the province are investing over $300-thousand in the Agriculture Labour Sub-Program. The new program stream will provide farmers and agricultural organizations with access to funding for initiatives focused on improving the workforce. Those initiatives could include Recruitment missions; Developing on-farm resources for employees with English as a second language; Workforce training and professional development opportunities; Developing models and strategies for employee childcare and transportation; and taking part in job fairs and trade shows.  .
