Hiring support through our partnership

37D works with The Career Foundation to help Ontario employers explore wage-subsidy support for new hires. Through this partnership, contact us about an opportunity for at least $1,000 per eligible new hire, for up to 30 eligible hires.

Ontario employers are welcome to enquire. Availability is subject to employer, candidate and placement eligibility, funding availability and approval. Being located in Ontario does not automatically qualify every employer or every hire. The amount, payment arrangements and conditions are confirmed for your situation before you proceed.

Build your team with support

A wage subsidy can help offset eligible employment or training costs while a new employee builds skills in the role. Use the conversation to connect your hiring plans with a practical onboarding and retention plan.

Tell us about the work, your location, the number of positions and expected start dates. We can discuss the next step with The Career Foundation and help identify the information needed for an eligibility review.

What to prepare

Start with your company name, Ontario work location, job titles, approximate number of hires, expected start dates and a short description of onboarding or training. Tell us whether recruitment is planned, underway or already completed; the applicable timing rules must be confirmed.

Please do not send candidate identity documents, banking information or sensitive employee records with an initial enquiry. Detailed documentation can follow through an agreed process.

How the next steps work

1. Contact 37D using the prefilled enquiry below and introduce your Ontario hiring plans.

2. Discuss employer, candidate and placement eligibility and the applicable wage-subsidy pathway.

3. Confirm the approved amount, agreement, supporting records, payment schedule and any retention or reporting conditions. Ask about requirements before relying on a subsidy or making hiring commitments.

4. Proceed under the agreed process and keep the records required for any claim or payment. An enquiry does not reserve funding or confirm approval.

Program context and funding

The Employment Ontario service is funded in part by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.

Who we work with

37D excludes cannabis businesses, businesses with 51% or more of sales from alcohol, gaming businesses and businesses involving nudity from its services and acquisitions. All alcohol products are excluded from sourcing and trade. Higher Ground beverage supply to casino customers is a limited exception to the gaming-business exclusion; it does not extend to gambling operations, financing or acquisitions.

Planning your Ontario Wage Subsidy — Hiring Support with The Career Foundation enquiry

Build the project case before relying on support

A government-support enquiry begins with the activity you plan to carry out. Describe the project objective, location, timetable, costs and who will perform the work. A useful proposal connects the business need with a defined project rather than treating the program as unrestricted money for any expense.

Program administrators determine eligibility, eligible expenditure, approvals and any reporting requirements. Discuss the timing of commitments and applications before assuming that earlier spending will qualify. Other assistance, project records and the distinction between advisory support and financial support may also matter. A project should have a workable commercial plan alongside the funding discussion.

Information that helps us assess the next step

Describe the planned activity, business location, project stage, expected costs and timetable. Mention other support already received or under consideration. Ask for a complimentary 20-minute consulting call to establish which information should be gathered next.
