NL Job Accelerator and Growth Program (JAG)

In plain language

A payroll rebate, not a grant — you hire first, prove the jobs exist, then get 10% of incremental payroll back annually for three years. Minimum 20 new jobs averaging $50K+ salary. Extra 5% bonus for hiring recent grads or newcomers with priority skills. Rolling intake. Only makes sense for growth-stage companies already planning a hiring push — it won't fund a speculative expansion. No cap posted; past approvals have ranged from $100K to multi-million over three years. Slow cash flow: the rebate lands after jobs are real.

Who qualifies

What you'll have to report
