Over half a million dollars is coming to Canadore College to help train 24 people for in-demand jobs in the trades.
The province announced $550,000 will fund free pre-apprenticeship training for general carpentry, construction, electrician and maintenance.
Canadore College President and CEO George Burton says tradespeople are needed in Ontario, and Canadore’s trades grades are job ready after they graduate.
The free pre-apprenticeship training here at home is part of the nearly 100 around the province.
