Ontario and Alberta Partnering to Create More Opportunities for Internationally Trained Skilled Workers
Ontario needs hundreds of thousands of additional skilled trades workers over the next decade to build homes, hospitals and highways.
That is why the Governments of Ontario and Alberta are partnering to create more opportunities for internationally trained skilled workers by signing a a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to define a framework for collaboration on international credential recognition and post-journeyperson certification.
This framework will assess international credentials against the apprenticeship programs in Ontario and Alberta, helping to address gaps in the skilled labour market and fill openings in high-demand fields.
Working together with Alberta, we’re sharing knowledge and expertise on international credential recognition, removing barriers to skilled workers filling in-demand jobs and building our communities.
