We're taking action to protect Ontario's economy in the face of economic uncertainty. Our government has allocated 40,000 new seats at colleges and universities across Ontario in key, economy-driving sectors including STEM, trades, health care, and teaching. Building on the 30,000 additional seats we funded earlier this year, our government has invested $1.7 billion to fund more than 70,000 new seats in high-demand programs that build stronger communities. As we face economic threats, we're doubling down to protect Ontario's greatest asset - our highly skilled workforce. Learn more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…
