Ontario Providing Free Job Training for At-Risk Workers in London

Monte McNaughton, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, announced that our government is investing $2.5 million to support four free training projects designed to help 385 jobseekers and 2,300 students who face barriers to employment prepare for meaningful jobs with local businesses in London and southwestern Ontario. 

Led by Over 55 London, Youth Opportunities Unlimited, Pathways Employment Help Centre and WePrep/LiUNA Local 1059, the programs announced today will prioritize those traditionally shut out of the job market such as at-risk youth and those over the age of 55. They will prepare jobseekers for well-paying careers in construction, manufacturing, property maintenance, hospitality, retail, and other in-demand industries.
