ON not fair, transparent with Skills Development Fund: Auditor General

Ontario’s Auditor General has released a report on the Skills Development Fund Training Stream that found that, since the first round of funding in 2021, the funds have been distributed through a selection process that was not fair, transparent, or accountable. The audit found that more than half of the applications approved for funding were rated “medium” or lower against the slated program objectives and other program criteria, while 670 applications that ranked “high” were not selected for funding. The ON Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development has agreed with all recommendations made by the auditor general in the report.
