The provincial Conservatives are looking to address gaps that could be a significant obstacle in Ontario’s economic recovery. Local MP John Yakabuski, in a release, spoke to millions of dollars to be invested in programs to help with job training, skills and a second career program. According to the release, “the government is providing $180 million to connect workers in the tourism and hospitality sector and others most affected by the pandemic to training and jobs. Part of Ontario’s Action Plan: Protect, Support, Recover, this investment includes a skilled trades strategy, an additional $100 million of dedicated investments through Employment Ontario for skills training, a redesigned Second Career program, and $59.5 million to acquire in-demand skills.”
