The Government of Ontario has announced several efforts to improve educational opportunities for Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members and veterans. Proposed changes under the Honouring Veterans Act would, if passed, create more pathways to careers in the trades for CAF members and veterans. These changes include allowing individuals with certain military trades credentials to take the qualifying exams for the equivalent civilian trades credentials and enhancing postsecondary Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition processes to better recognize CAF training and work experience. The province is also investing $2.4M into free technology and cybersecurity training for veterans.
