ON invests $75M into construction, urban planning training

The Government of Ontario has announced a $75M investment to train students for in-demand jobs in construction and urban planning. The funds will be used to create up to 7,500 new seats in construction programs at colleges and Indigenous institutes and up to 300 new seats for graduate students at universities. “In the midst of US tariffs and global economic uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to strengthen our skilled workforce,” said David Piccini, ON Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. “Each of these additional seats will help ensure Ontario workers can land better jobs with bigger paycheques.”
