WorkBC Self Employment

The Self Employment Service is a 48-week skills-development program designed to assist eligible participants in developing and implementing a business plan.

Through workshops, business advice and coaching, participants learn to build a sustainable business and are expected to achieve self-sufficiency.

The WorkBC Wage Subsidy program covers a portion of employee wages in exchange for on-the-job training and work experience. Both sides benefit from a wage subsidy – job seekers can gain new skills, experience, and employment, while employers get financial support for on-the-job training.
