The Young Animator Training Project (若手アニメーター育成プロジェクト, Wakate Animētā Ikusei Purojekuto) is an annual project launched in 2010, and funded by the Japanese government's Agency for Cultural Affairs in order to support training animators.
The animation labor group received 214.5 million yen (about US$2.27 million) from the Japanese government's Agency for Cultural Affairs, and it distributed most of those funds to studios to train young animators on-the-job during the year.
In 2011 the Agency once again provided funding for JAniCA to select more young training projects under the same budgets.
Later it was announced that The Association of Japanese Animations (AJA) will run the project.
