Visée

Keeping employees’ skills up to date can be costly, especially when training pulls them away from day-to-day operations. For growing businesses looking to invest in professional development without absorbing the full payroll impact, the Visée program offers practical wage support tied directly to employee training.

Delivered by Visées, this initiative helps businesses offset a significant portion of the costs associated with upskilling their workforce. Funding can reach up to about $8,000 per employee and is structured to cover roughly half of an employee’s salary during approved training hours, along with certain training-related expenses. There’s no fixed cap on the number of employees a company can include, making the program particularly attractive for SMEs and larger organizations planning broader skills development initiatives. The focus is on meaningful, career-advancing training that leads to a clear upgrade in the employee’s role or capabilities.

Visée is geared toward Quebec-based businesses that meet certain requirements and employ staff with established professional experience. Applications are currently being accepted, though funding is subject to availability due to high demand. For employers who want to strengthen their teams, improve retention, and build long-term capacity, taking a closer look at how Visée works could be a smart next step.
