Yukon Tourism Training Fund

TIA Yukon has hosted and administered the Tourism Training Trust Fund (TTTF) for many years now.  As the labour market has changed, so have industry needs and challenges – especially in service and hospitality.

The Tourism Training Trust Fund  – co managed by HRDC and Department of Education – has evolved to the Yukon Tourism Training Fund (YTTF) with a contribution agreement solely with the Department of Education – Yukon Government.  The new fund provides applicants with inproved funding opportunities and opens up opportunities for training in areas not supported by the TTTF.

YTTF Priority Areas:
In an effort to support the needs of the tourism industry, to be flexible to serve both entry level as well as skill enhancement training and to be proactive in addressing the Yukon tourism labour market shortfall, the proposed priorities of the fund are:
  • Entry-level skill development – such as food safe, welcome Yukon, first aid, basic web and marketing skills, beginner accounting, etc.
  • Seasonal employment training and (re)certification – wilderness first aid and recerts, white water rescue, etc.
  • Skill development course work ( for current tourism employees) to upgrade skills to existing knowledge base such as the next courses in accounting, website skills, sales and marketing, etc.
