The Government of Ontario is investing $8.9M to support 25 programs across the province that provide career training opportunities for women. This funding will support training programs in four streams: skilled trades, entrepreneurship, information technology, and general employment. To remove barriers to participation for women, these training programs provide additional supports to their respective attendees, such as meals on training days, transportation to and from training, and assistance with finding childcare. The postsecondary institutions among the funding recipients include Canadore College, Collège Boréal, Collège La Cité, Conestoga College, George Brown College, Humber College, Seven Generations Education Institute, and Six Nations Polytechnic.
