The Better Jobs Ontario program  is a cost-sharing grant that helps Ontarians train for in-demand jobs. The Better Jobs Ontario program and the Second Career Program are two separate initiatives by the government of Ontario, Canada. The Second Career program is an employment training program that provides financial assistance to help students, and laid-off workers train for new careers in high-demand occupations. The program is designed to support workers who have been laid off due to company closures or downsizing, and who require new skills or training to transition into new industries. Eligible workers can receive financial support for tuition, books, living expenses, and other costs associated with training for a new career.

The Better Jobs Ontario program, on the other hand, is a broader initiative aimed at creating and sustaining good jobs in the province. While the Second Career program is focused on helping individual workers, Better Jobs Ontario provides funding and support to employers, training providers, and community organizations to help them create new jobs and improve job quality.
