Thank you to BurlingtonToday for joining us at Exploring the Skilled Trades: Network, Learn, Launch Your Career and for highlighting the opportunities, connections and conversations that made the day so impactful.

“Be curious, make connections and don’t be afraid to take the first step.” — Kelly Hoey, Executive Director, HIEC

That’s what we hoped attendees would take away from the event: explore the possibilities, talk to people working in the trades and make connections that could lead to the next opportunity.

What a fantastic day for the skilled trades! 🎉 Today, over 130 attendees joined us for Exploring the Skilled Trades: Network, Learn, Launch Your Career, co-hosted with Skills Canada - Ontario.

Attendees explored the Skills Ontario Trades & Tech Truck, connected with employers and industry representatives, heard from our packed employer panel, participated in two full workshops and received personalized job-search support through more than 50 one-on-one job coaching sessions.

A huge thank you to our partners, exhibitors, panellists and everyone who joined us and made the day such a success!

Here’s to exploring opportunities, making connections and launching careers in the skilled trades.

Great to see continued investment in skills training and pathways to in-demand careers across Ontario. Building skills is critical, and so is connecting people with the opportunities where those skills are needed most.

Thank you, Minister David Piccini and Premier Doug Ford for Ontario, for investing in Ontario workers, job seekers and the industries that need their talent.

Through apprenticesearch.com, we play a critical role in turning skills into opportunity by helping people see where opportunities exist, navigate the path to apprenticeship, and connect with employers who need their talent. It’s how we help strengthen Ontario’s skilled trades workforce and ensure more people can move from interest and training into in-demand careers.

Ontario is investing over $9.8 million in major Canadian industries.

Through the sixth round of the Skills Development Fund Training Stream, this investment will help nearly 1,150 people train for rewarding, in-demand careers.
