Toronto, Ontario — Support Ontario Youth (SOY), a government-supported apprenticeship group has announced the registration of 500 apprentices of the skilled trades.
The mission of SOY is to streamline the apprenticeship pathway in Ontario by advocating for apprentices and supporting their careers while also providing full support to employers. One of SYO’s aims is to save employers time and money by connecting them with high-quality candidates who can succeed with their companies.
“Skilled trades workers are vital to the growth of our economy,” said David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. “Our government is proud to invest in organizations like Support Ontario Youth as they continue inspiring young people across our province to explore careers in the skilled trades and helping Ontario reach a historic number of apprenticeship registrations.”
“I can’t believe we are at 500 apprentices. What an awesome accomplishment and such amazing growth. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without the support of our dedicated team, apprentices, mentors, and partners,” said Melanie Winter – Executive Director of Support Ontario Youth. “Their unwavering support has paved the way for countless people to kickstart their careers and has strengthened Ontario’s skilled trades industry as a whole.”
Collision Repair magazine would like to extend congratulations to the SOY organization.
