About this program
BUMP is Manitoba's replacement for the discontinued Canada-Manitoba Job Grant, and anyone still searching for that program should start here. It cost-shares 50% of employee training and of the work of building an HR strategy, through two streams that can be combined to a $100,000 maximum. Applications begin with an intake form rather than a fixed deadline.
Who is eligible
Employers with fewer than 500 full-time equivalent employees, permanently established in Manitoba and operating for at least one year. Training participants must be Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons entitled to work in Canada, and must currently reside in Manitoba. The process runs intake form, eligibility screening by a Workforce Development Consultant, then an invitation to submit a full application.
