Ontario Building Training Centre for 50,000 New Construction Workers

• After years of neglect and under-investment from previous governments, we have too many experienced workers retiring and not enough young workers starting their career in the trades.
• Through our new Skills Development Fund Capital Stream, our government is continuing to support the world-class Ontario workers who are rebuilding our province’s economy.
• We are taking action by partnering with LiUNA 183 to train the next generation – almost 100,000 new construction workers – who will leverage the expertise and wisdom of experienced tradespeople to build Ontario.
• Our government is investing approximately $26 million through the Skills Development Fund (SDF) Capital Stream to build a new training centre at LiUNA 183’s skilled trades training campus in Vaughan.
• With this new training centre, LiUNA 183 will be able to train nearly 50,000 additional new workers – doubling their current training capacity to almost 100,000 workers – for in-demands careers in construction across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), such as bricklaying, heavy equipment operators, and concrete finishing.
