COLLEGE OF TRADES, STARTING TO ENGAGE
With an newly appointed Chair of the Board of Governors and Appointments Council, the College of Trades is starting to engage in discussions with the construction industry and has issued its first Newsletter. You may recall, the College was legislated in 2009 as a body to oversee the governance of the apprenticeship training system in Ontario, promote careers in the skilled trades and review compulsory certification and ratios. The College is now reviewing applications for Adjudicators whose role will likely be centred around ratios in compulsory trades. To learn more visit www.collegeoftrades.ca
