Another strong @ESDC_GC commitment to apprenticeship training today in Halifax. With @PolyCan members delivering 70% of apprenticeship technical training, this is a welcome investment in their capacity to respond to strong and growing industry demand for skilled tradespeople.

Just finished cross-country interviews with @CBC radio hosts to talk about new federal investments in apprenticeship. Now let’s get to the work of ensuring #apprentices can move efficiently from registration to completion, something a majority do at Canada’s #polytechnics.
