Pembina Institute welcomes new apprenticeship funding, urges focus on Canada’s growing clean economy OTTAWA — HANNAH HUNTER, senior analyst with the Pembina Institute’s Sustainable Workforce program, made the following statement in response to the federal government’s announcement of more than $430 million in apprenticeship training funding over the next five years under Team Canada Strong. “Canada’s growing clean economy offers major opportunities to create good jobs and drive economic growth. Realizing these opportunities will depend on having enough skilled workers to expand our electricity system and electrify more of our economy, from transportation and buildings to industry. Today’s investment in apprenticeship training is a welcome step. To make it worthwhile for workers and employers, Canada must ensure this investment goes towards jobs of the future, not the jobs of yesterday. “The funding will help training centres expand, purchase modern equipment and develop new approaches to apprenticeship training through three streams of the Union Training and Innovation Program (UTIP): infrastructure expansion, training equipment and innovation.
