Ontario to Modernize and Streamline Apprenticeship Training

Proposed legislation will help apprentices prepare for in-demand jobs and complete their training faster

TORONTO – The Ontario government is introducing new measures to help tradespeople get their certification from one reliable, streamlined destination through a new Crown agency, Skilled Trades Ontario, that would replace the Ontario College of Trades (OCOT).

Today, Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development, introduced the Building Opportunities in the Skilled TradesActlegislation designed to make the province’s skilled trades and apprenticeship system more efficient, accessible and easier to navigate.

It will also provide a seamless one window experience for client-facing services including apprentice registration, issuance of certificates and renewals, and conduct equivalency assessments all in one place with many services offered digitally.
