Conestoga receives $1.06M provincial investment for women in carpentry training

The Government of Ontario is investing up to $1.06M over three years in Conestoga College Institute of Technology’s carpentry pre-apprenticeship training program for women in Cambridge. This funding is part of a larger $1.88M announcement through the Women’s Economic Security Program which aims to support employment programs for low-income women in Cambridge and Guelph. “[Conestoga’s Carpentry pre-apprenticeship program] will help women gain their own financial independence as they contribute to the workforce and the prosperity of their communities,” said Conestoga President Dr John Tibbits.
