Ontario is helping Niagara College grow

Ontario is helping Niagara College grow so more students can train for jobs in skilled trades.
The province will invest $15.4 million in a major expansion to skilled trades training classroom space at Niagara College's Welland campus. The college will soon be able to welcome 730 more students and apprentices. The expansion will cost $18.3 million, and create more than 180 construction jobs.
Many high-growth industries face shortages of people with the right skills. The government's three-year, $1.5-billion Skills to Jobs Action Plan is aimed at closing that gap. Niagara College will train more welders, carpenters, electricians and other tradespeople in the skills employers are looking for.

“A lot of employers are having a hard time finding workers with the right skills, so there are jobs going begging. Investing in Niagara College means giving our people the opportunities they need and improving our economic advantage,” said Premier Dalton McGuinty.“By investing in post secondary institutions like Niagara College and the skills and programs they offer, we are strengthening our
economy and helping to improve everyone's quality of life,” said St. Catharines MPP Jim Bradley.
“We have the right plan for the times, one that builds a stronger Ontario by investing in our greatest asset — our people,” said Kim Craitor, MPP Niagara Falls.

Niagara College offers programs as part of Ontario's Second Career Strategy.
More than 6,000 full time students and over 15,000 continuing education students attend Niagara College.
The college is ranked first overall in student satisfaction among all Ontario colleges.

Skills Canada

A great resource for Skills Training is the Skills Canada website

Since its inception in 1989, S/CC has evolved into a pan-Canadian organization offering skilled trades and technology competitions at the regional, provincial/territorial, national and international levels as well as other awareness programs for thousands of young Canadians.
Skills/Compétences Canada is also a founding partner of the national awareness campaign, "Skilled Trades: A Career You Can Build On ".
Over the next two decades, employers in Canada will find it difficult to hire and retain skilled workers. We want to help Canada’s industries find well-trained, well-prepared young people to fill these positions. S/CC wants youth to understand the many opportunities, benefits and rewards of skilled trade and technology careers. Improving the expertise and confidence of individuals pursuing technical careers will benefit us all.

Associate Publisher Ottawa Construction News

This work is primarily about effective selling -- though the selling process in our business is unconventional in that the biggest sales often require the 'purchaser' to spend no money -- while achieving substantial value/results. You will spend much of your time 'connecting' in the community -- and much on the phone -- tracking down leads, arranging appointments, and selling advertising.
You should be based in the greater Ottawa area. You can work from your own home, as well as our modest offices in the Merivale Industrial Area (it is important to be in the office one or two days a week, for meetings and to connect with the other employees, and in the early months of employment, you should plan to work from the office most days of the week).
Most work is daytime business hours, but you should plan on a few evening events/meetings a month. There is little weekend work. You should have access to your own transportation.
Experience in sales work is useful, but not essential -- we can show you the ropes if you have the right attributes.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please email your resume to greatcareer@cnrgp.com We'll send you a questionnaire which you need to complete to receive further consideration.

Welcome to Construction Jobs and Careers

The one thing I have been noticing since I ventured into the world of Construction a year ago is the constant discussion around the shortage of skilled workers.

The purpose of this blog is to highlight industry trends from government initiatives, skills and educational training in our Universirties and Colleges to the demands of the companies looking for employers.

Over the next few weeks I will be sharing articles about new training initiatives and companies looking to fill current openings.

If you have a job you would like to post or share your experiences of finding work & training for today's construction industry please contact me chasemarketing@sympatico.ca
