Addressing the skilled labour shortage
Attracting new entrants into trades education and training programs is the first step towards addressing Ontario’s skilled trades talent shortage. As skilled labour shortages become increasingly widespread across the province, Conestoga is focused on modernizing apprenticeship and skilled trades training by consolidating and expanding the college’s full complement of trades programs at a single campus. This new, modern facility will help raise the profile of the skilled trades and attract a broader, more diverse student population.
