If you’ve been laid off, had your hours cut, or you’re just trying to get back on your feet, paid courses can feel out of reach.
The good news is that support exists. Some programs are free depending on your situation. Others are low-cost. The trick is figuring out what you actually qualify for.
HWTC offers a range of services and training options for people who are unemployed or underemployed. What you can access depends on your circumstances, but it’s worth checking what’s available to you.
We also run a paid training catalogue at myhwtc.ca for specific certifications like Smart Serve, Food Handlers, and WHMIS. These are the credentials many hospitality jobs require. If you need one, the cost is usually small compared to what it opens up.
So when people ask whether free job training exists in Toronto, the answer is yes. But the fastest way to know what fits your situation is to reach out.
Start here: visit hwtc.ca to learn what programs you qualify for, or contact us directly to talk to someone about your next step.
