The Ontario College of Trades and Skills Ontario have partnered to promote the skilled trades through outreach programs.
The programs aim to encourage educators and parents to incorporate skilled trades-related activities into curricula and in discussions on the viability of careers in the skilled trades.
Both organizations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that focuses on the development of outreach initiatives geared to youth, parents, educators, government and other stakeholders. Introduced in part due to concerns about a national shortage of tradespeople, the agreement also aims to engage employers.
