College Connect — Independent Funding & Program Advisor
We're an independent advisor — not a college. Free to talk to, no obligation.
Second career · Government-funded training

Find out which funded training programs you may qualify for.

We help people compare funded training options across Ontario, BC, and Alberta, explain the grants honestly (including the ones that don't apply to you), and connect you with a licensed training provider that actually fits — at no cost to you.

Common starting points

People come to this from a lot of different directions. Here are a few common ones — see which fits, or tell us your own.

Between roles

A layoff or a contract ending is one of the most common reasons people start looking into a funded retraining path.

Ready for more

Sometimes the job is fine, but the ceiling is low. A credential can be the difference-maker for pay and stability.

New to Canada

Newcomers often qualify for the same provincial grants and just need help figuring out which program and pathway fits.

How College Connect works

1

Tell us your situation

A short form, then a free call. We ask about your background, timeline, and what funding might already apply to you.

2

We match you to real options

We compare programs and funding pathways across our partner colleges — we're not paid to push any one of them.

3

You decide on the introduction

If there's a fit, we tell you exactly which college and program before we share anything with them. Nothing happens without your OK.

See what applies to your situation

Ontario, BC, and Alberta each fund training differently. The next page breaks down exactly what's real for each — including where the government funding doesn't cover private colleges.
