Toronto, Ontario -- On August 20, ApprenticeSearch.com and Skills Ontario hosted the Exploring the Skilled Trades open house in Burlington, Ontario.
The free, hands-on event for job-seekers, career explorers and students features skilled trades workshops, employer panel discussions, trade virtual reality experiences and a free lunch.
ApprenticeSearch.com is a free online job search and matching platform exclusively for apprenticeship trade positions in Canada. The event was held at its headquarters.
During the event, several well-known industry figures participated in a panel discussion about careers in automotive aftermarket trades, including Daryll O’Keefe, vice-president of strategic business development in North America for Fix Network Canada.
Member of Provincial Parliament for Burlington Natalie Pierre attended the event and spoke on the importance of skilled trades in Ontario’s economy and the opportunities these careers provide for the future workforce.
Prior to her 2022 election, MPP Pierre led hiring and recruitment at Sheridan College to help secondary and post-secondary students transition into the workforce.
“I had the pleasure of joining Halton Industry Education Council at the ApprenticeSearch.com open house in Burlington,” stated MPP Pierre in a X post. “This event brings together youth and job seekers who are looking to explore exciting opportunities in the skilled trades.”
