Ontario Creating Opportunities for Youth in Niagara

More than 300,000 jobs continue to go unfilled every day, costing the province billions in lost productivity.

Premier Ford and Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, announced that our government is investing $2.9 million to help 250 young people in the Niagara region train for meaningful and well-paying careers in the technology sector.

Led by the Town of Lincoln, the Youth Skills Studio will prepare jobseekers for the future of work with a four-month paid training program and connections to 75 small and medium-sized businesses hiring in high-tech, manufacturing, hospitality, tourism, and other critical sectors.

The program will teach participants about digital marketing, web development, digital systems administration, cloud computing, and IT to ensure Niagara’s growing economy has the skilled technology workers it needs.
