Abstract: Canadian governments collaborate with partner organizations to implement public policy. This intensified in 2020 with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. We consider the case of Retrain Manitoba, a $12.5 million dollar workforce skills development fund that was part of Manitoba’s Skills, Talent, and Workforce Strategy. Retrain Manitoba was supported by the Province of Manitoba, the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce and administered by Economic Development Winnipeg (EDW). We detail the purpose, implementation, and select aggregate details of its successful outcomes. The program’s purpose was to help Manitoba organizations affected by the pandemic, by reimbursing companies for micro-credential courses they needed to improve staff skills. Any Manitoba-based business, not-for-profit, or charity of any size with a valid Manitoba business number in good standing could register for training reimbursement via the Retrain Manitoba portal. The per employee maximum was $2,500, and per organization maximum was $75,000. Applications were accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. For the reimbursement approval, organizations had to send a valid paid receipt via the Retrain Manitoba portal. Once confirmed, funds were paid out within five business days. Training eligible for reimbursement included courses with a start date as early as April 1, 2021, along with training paid for while the program was active. The program was slated to run from November 8, 2021, until March 31, 2022; or until the funds ran out. This occurred on February 4, 2022. At least 1,365 organizations were reimbursed for training over 18,000 employees. Eighty-seven per cent of the companies were small businesses (0 to 99 employees).
