  "account": "Manitoba's government is funding a pilot program to train aerospace and manufacturing workers in digital traceability, production data, and artificial intelligence. The federal and provincial governments have jointly allocated $500,000 for the AeroTrace Workforce Pilot program. Aerospace and Defence (formerly Manitoba Aerospace), in collaboration with Mode40, a data intelligence company, will deliver the training. The initiative aims to enhance the digital capabilities of workers in Manitoba's aerospace and manufacturing sectors. The first annual payment for the program is $205.00 plus GST, with the cost increasing to $233.00 plus GST annually thereafter (10% off the regular price of $259.35).
