Skills Ontario is building Ontario’s skilled trades and technologies workforce. We deliver in-school presentations across Ontario, host Canada’s largest skills competition, run summer camps for skills development and connect students to employers through regional, hands-on events. We are focused on growth sectors such as construction and infrastructure, technology innovation and hospitality services. Engagement with students, teachers, parents, guardians, volunteers and guest speakers ensure our programs connect education, experience and employment. We partner with school boards, colleges, small business, large companies, labour groups and governments to provide opportunities for youth to explore and develop skills for successful careers in the skilled trades and technologies.
With 30 years of experience, Skills Ontario is a province-wide organization with a grassroots connection into the many communities we serve. Our programs represent a long-term investment in the lives of all Ontarians.
