The RREI includes two funding programs:
Labour Market Research Plans – Provides funding to local governments to study their job markets and identify workforce needs and opportunities. Applications are open until November 15.
Business Advisory Supports – Helps small businesses access professional expertise to reduce the impacts of tariffs and support job growth. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until funding is fully allocated.
