NACC Applauds Expanded Education Investment for Canadian Armed Forces Reserve Members

The National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) welcomes the Government of Canada’s expansion of education reimbursement for Canadian Armed Forces Primary Reserve members. The enhanced program will provide eligible reservists with up to 75% of allowable education expenses, to a maximum of $7,500 per academic year and $30,000 over their lifetime.

NACC applauds this investment in lifelong learning, recognizing the vital role career colleges play in providing flexible, industry-driven education that allows reservists to balance military service with career development. Canada’s regulated career colleges remain committed to supporting members of the Canadian Armed Forces with accessible training that builds in-demand skills and strengthens both military readiness and Canada’s workforce.
