What Is the Skills Development Fund?
The SDF supports two key streams:
- Capital Stream: Infrastructure projects (e.g., training facilities), supported by the Government of Ontario.
- Training Stream: Direct delivery of skills training to individuals.
D2L is currently supporting only the Training Stream, which is expected to open soon. This presents a timely opportunity to plan and partner with D2L.

We bring deep experience in digital learning and a proven track record of successful partnerships.
Who Should Apply?

- Ontario-based employers, industry associations, and nonprofits.

Note: Colleges, universities, and school boards can partner on projects but cannot apply directly.
