Workers, communities affected by tariffs will benefit from expanded supports
[]
Asian Journal
People adversely affected by tariffs imposed by the United States will benefit from expanded supports through two new initiatives delivered by the Province in partnership with the Government of Canada.
Originally focused on forestry, the Build Your Own Future (BYOF) program is being expanded to support workers across all industries affected by U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs.
The program offers five-day business bootcamps, with one-on-one coaching and mentorship to help displaced workers transition into entrepreneurship.
Delivered by the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT), RREIF will fund labour-market studies to help communities address the effects of tariffs and respond to local employment needs.
RREIF will also fund business advisory services so organizations can diversify and take advantage of emerging opportunities.
