Tuition Reimbursement for Employee Training
Let us help you build the team your clinic deserves.
Support for Clinic Owners and Employers Investing in Staff Development
If you’re an employer or clinic owner in Ontario looking to elevate your team’s expertise in medical aesthetics, tuition reimbursement programs may help offset the cost of third-party training. These programs can cover a significant portion of your employee training expenses—sometimes up to 80%, with the employer covering the remainder.
