Funding

The Yukon Heritage Training Fund (HTF) was designed to give Yukon residents the opportunity to increase their skills and knowledge in the heritage sector. All training approved through this fund must be directly related to increasing the employability of Yukon’s heritage workers and providing Yukon employers with a better-trained workforce. Applications are reviewed by a committee and are assessed based on eligibility, merit, fund priorities, and an ability to meet fund criteria.
