“Ontario says it is investing $90 million to support upgrading the skills of workers. The province says the funding opens on Thursday to anyone who is unemployed or underemployed. […] The current round of funding will prioritize applications for the skilled trades, health care, technology and manufacturing industries.”

“The Ontario government is working for workers by investing $5 million to provide free training to 500 people from underrepresented groups to prepare them for well-paying jobs in the province’s thriving automotive manufacturing sector. The project will provide participants with the necessary skills for rewarding careers in machine operation, assembly, quality control, and logistics. The program will also help address a critical shortage of workers in a vital industry as Ontario positions itself as a North American leader in auto manufacturing.[…] This project is funded by Ontario’s Skills Development Fund, a more than $200 million initiative that supports innovative programs that connect job seekers with the skills and training they need to find well-paying careers close to home.”
