Ontario Investing $10 Million in Training for Ship Building Industry

As the Hamilton-Niagara area grows, we are working with labour and industry partners to open new training and apprenticeship opportunities for local workers and jobseekers.  

Our government is investing $10 million through the Skills Development Fund with Ontario Shipyards Inc to train and upskill workers for careers in the shipbuilding and repair sector.

Ontario Shipyards Inc. will deliver training, re-skilling and up-skilling programs for careers in the millwright, welding, electrical and painting trades in St Catharines, Hamilton and Thunder Bay.

By investing in training and skills development for workers in Ontario’s growing shipbuilding sector, we are delivering on our commitment to rebuild Ontario’s economy, bring back manufacturing and support our province’s world-class workforce.
