Your Opinion Matters: Modernization of Apprenticeship Training Standards and Curriculum Standards for Red Seal Skilled Trades in Ontario
Skilled Trades Ontario (STO) has partnered with the Provincial Building Trades Council of Ontario (PBTCO) for a multi-year project with the following objectives:
-
Modernize Ontario’s Apprenticeship Training Standards and Curriculum Standards to support the mobility of apprentices;
-
Develop and enhance the language and terminology of 14 Standards for 11 Red Seal trades to better reflect diversity, inclusion, and increased accessibility; to support environmental protection; and to address the needs of equity-deserving groups; and
-
Develop support materials, new procedures, and establish resources to support the apprenticeship pathway
