The federal government plans to spend $430 million over the next five years to help unions train a new generation of workers in the skilled trades. John Zerucelli, secretary of state for labour, announced Thursday that Ottawa is opening applications for access to the new pool of funding, most which comes from an expansion to the Union Training and Innovation Program launched in 2017. The federal government says in a news release that unions and training providers will be able to apply for extra capital to expand their training facilities and other infrastructure. Expressions of interest are open until Nov. 12 and the government is looking for shovel-ready projects that can begin next spring.

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.
