The Skilled Trades Job Market
The Ontario government suggests that one in five jobs created over the next five years will be in trades-related occupations. The opportunities in the skilled trades are great, and KPR is passionate about educating our students about the rewards. The Ministry of Labour, Training, and Skills Development continues to improve access to apprenticeships and the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program is your first step on this pathway.
