Every time a student discovers a trade or technology-based career through technological education, a pathway opens.
Secondary schools are one of the most important places to solve the skilled trades gap!

@AlexanderGlista I am hopeful that:
1. the already ridiculous price structure doesn't make this Muy Alto!
2. rural communities can return to train service that has disappeared.
3. Federal and provincial counterparts can wrap their heads around a joint comprehensive transit plan!

This is more than just a class—it’s a chance to explore, learn, and grow while setting yourself up for a rewarding future.

[Skilled Trades Ontario @SkilledTradesON]

Jordan encourages students to try a trade through co-op, OYAP or tech courses. “The relationships I have made, the type of work I get to do, and being an integral part of a team has brought me more job fulfillment than I had outside the skilled trades.”
