Skills Development Fund

The Réseau offers its members a Skills Development Fund. This financial support program aims to support our members in their professional development by promoting access to continuing education. Thanks to this financial support, members can obtain all the tools they need to improve their services. Among other things, these grants allow members to specialize and develop skills in the field of massage therapy.

The Skills Development Fund enables members wishing to enroll in one of our recognized continuing education programs to receive a subsidy. This financial assistance program is designed to support our members in their professional development. Members are limited to one subsidy per year. The fiscal year for this program begins on March 1 and ends on February 28 of each year.

Each year, the amount of the Skills Development Fund is determined by the Board of Directors, which allocates a substantial budget to it. As such, we cannot guarantee the grant. However, the Réseau does have a waiting list in case we reach the budget limit before the end of the fiscal year.
