Clearview has been an approved training provider

Clearview is federally incorporated but based in Ontario and most of its clients have inquired about the Ontario Job Grant (OJG). It’s best to go directly to to find answers to their questions.

For up to 100 employees, the OJG covers 5/6 (83.3 %) of the costs of training plus the portion of the HST that is not recoverable. The client covers the 1/6 (16.7%)

Maximum is $10,000 per employee

No. Clearview is considered a 3rd party and as the Training Provider, they cannot be involved in the process, except in providing a quote for the training services they can provide.

Yes.

There is an online portal with the government.

No. The OJG only covers training.  There is often some confusion with clients of Clearview applying for a OJG grant because the name of our company is Clearview Training & Consulting.

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development is currently accepting applications from individual employers if they involve training 25 or fewer participants.

You are eligible to get up to $10,000 per staff member.

If you contact Clearview, we provide a free training assessment conversation to determine what you need. Clearview can then make some suggestions around which training course will best meet those needs. Clearview is unique in that we provide over 100 different training courses that can have between 1 to 15 training modules.

From OJG Guidelines: Can an employer request more than one training type on one application? No. Each OJG Employer Application is restricted to one course. Multiple modules of an individual course may be accepted but must be delivered by the same training provider. Therefore you can choose from a hundred different courses that Clearview offers, each with different modules.

You will need to provide an outline of the training you have selected and the Training Provider you have chosen with the dates and location of those training modules. This information is submitted in the application.

YES. To demonstrate that you have done your due diligence, you will need to provide 2 additional quotes from other training providers. These should be from other qualified training organizations in Ontario.

The OJG has stated that for additional quotes, each of the 2 quotes should be from their organization.

If those other organizations do not have all the same modules as what Clearview is providing, you must explain to the Ministry why you have chosen Clearview.

1. Most clients of Clearview find obtaining quotes an arduous task because for a quote to be eligible you must show links to other training organizations who actually list their training modules with prices on their websites. Clearview provides all that information online on its website for all of its training.

2. Since many clients of Clearview are non-profit organizations, they often require training in 3 distinct training areas. Leadership, Board & Fundraising. There are just a handful of other training organizations in Ontario that cover all 3 areas. Therefore, supplying additional quotes is a challenge and a conversation with the Ministry is imperative.

3. Within the OJG system, there is currently a FLAG on Clearview. All past isses have been resolved but the flag remains.

4. What makes Clearview also unique is that they are an Approved Training Provider with 2 professionally recognized organizations that offer additional training credits in addition to the certificate that Clearview provides.

   1. Human Resource Professionals Association (HRPA)

   2. Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE)

After you complete the online application, the Ministry will require you to complete and sign 2 attestation forms.

1. Employer Attestation

2. Training Provider Attestation

These are necessary to show that there is no conflict of interest.
