Alex was looking for a #career that fit his skills Alex was looking for a #career that fit his skillset. While browsing the internet for skilled trades opportunities, he came across an ad for our Arborist Ground Worker Training Program.

The program provided support, on-the-job training, and coaching, which helped Alex to excel quickly. His instructors called him a rockstar. Alex's skills were so impressive that he landed an offer from his dream employer, who eagerly arranged for him to begin work after he finished the program.

Alex's story shows the importance of offering programs that helps the unemployed & underemployed to start a career in an in-demand #trade. Our goal is to help everyone who comes through our doors discover their potential and achieve their #employment goals.

⚠️ By 2031, Ontario's #construction sector wil ⚠️ By 2031, Ontario's #construction sector will need 100,000 more workers — and it's at risk of not meeting that goal. To address this challenge, Grade 11 students in Ontario will soon be able to take part in full-time apprenticeship programs while enrolled in school! 

We can reduce labour shortages in the skilled trades by: 
 
🛠️ Changing the minimum education requirement from Grade 12 to Grade 10 
📉  Lowering the minimum age for apprenticeships from 18 to 15-16 
➕ Increasing the number of teachers experienced in skilled trades 
⚙️ Creating or revamping low-cost training programs to recruit and support youth ages 15-17
