A NEW LEVEL

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD) has announced the locations of this year’s Skilled Trades Career Fairs. The 2024 Level Up! Skilled Trades Career Fairs marks the third year that the MLITSD has offered trades education and networking for youth in the province. In a recent press release, the MLITSD has further announced that due to last year’s success, Level Up! is expanding the number of sites being offered, and will this year, provide opportunities for up to 30,000 of Ontario’s youth across 15 sites.

Here, attendees will be able to learn more about the skilled trades and connect with employers in a hands-on, experimental learning environment. The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, in partnership with the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services has also selected Enterprise Canada Inc. as the vendor to lead the planning and delivery of the fairs.

As a result, Enterprise Canada Inc. will work with the Ministry and skilled trades partners, trainers, employers and school boards to plan, organize and launch the career fairs. This includes event planning, strategic management expertise, marketing and promotion and facilitation services to deliver the event.

COLLEAGUES IN CAMBRIDGE

CARSTAR Cambridge is firing up the engines on a unique hiring campaign – sponsoring a race car in the local Pure Stock racing series at Flamboro Speedway to attract automotive enthusiasts to the collision repair industry.

CARSTAR Cambridge, partially owned by Allen Mattice, and the LC group, owned by Ian Ladd and Peter Chavez, will run the No. 13 CARSTAR Cambridge car driven by Mattice in the Pure Stock series this summer. Mattice finished seventh in the season opener on May 4. Racing takes place at Flamboro Speedway every Saturday at 6:30 p.m. through Sept. 28.

“We are always looking for great talent to join our team at CARSTAR Cambridge, and this is the perfect way to introduce our brand and business opportunities to race fans who are car lovers and may want to consider a career in the industry,” said Mattice. “This is our second year representing CARSTAR and the LC Group of CARSTAR locations at the track and we’re looking forward to a great season.”

In addition to running the race season, CARSTAR Cambridge will again host an employee appreciation event at the track that has been very successful, a popular event the last two years.
