An announcement today from the Ministry of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada provides opportunities for recent graduates from electrical engineering, renewable energy or electrician programs to receive paid on-the-job training.
“In today’s environment, it’s more important than ever for young Canadians to participate and succeed in the job market,” said Minister Paradis. “Through this partnership with the Electricity Sector Council, we will be helping youth enhance their skills and get work experience in electricity and renewable energy.”
The Council will receive $624,968 in funding for its Career Focus Initiative project, which will provide on-the-job training and mentoring to help 45 to 60 young adults develop the skills they need for long-term employment in the sector.
