Apprenticeships
The need for skilled trades people in Canada is at an all time high. Nationwide we are experiencing a shortage of workers in the skilled trades due to the aging and retirement of current workers and the lack of younger workers entering the trades.
The Province of Ontario’s Job Connect Program provides assistance to employers who are interested in hiring and apprenticing workers.
Job Connect:
- Provides information about apprenticeships to employers
- Provides a pool of potential workers for employers who are willing to hire and apprentice
- Assists at the outset with training dollars allowing the employer to prepare new workers for their chosen career
- Assists employers in assessing potential workers through funded Job Trials
- Staff are available to assist employers with issues that may arise during the placement
