What will the College do?
The new Ontario College of Trades will modernize our apprenticeship and skilled trades system, which is vital to Ontario's economic prosperity.
The College will:
- Promote careers in the trades and attract more people to them, especially youth and underrepresented groups
- Take a leadership role in deciding how apprentices should be trained
- Give the skilled trades sector ownership of critical decisions on issues such as compulsory certification and ratios
- Help remove barriers and increase access for internationally trained workers
- Conduct research to help make sure Ontario trains the right workers for the future
The College’s membership will include journeypersons, employers and apprentices.
