ELECTRIC QUEBEC
Quebec is committing more than $7 million to a heavy-duty electric vehicle maintenance program, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Employment and Social Solidarity (MESS).
The 196-hour program aims to provide a recognized certification in electric and hybrid vehicle maintenance and repair. According to a press release, a total of 240 heavy-duty electric and hybrid vehicle mechanics and repairers—in addition to 20 master trainers—will be trained to acquire future skills to “play a role in Quebec’s transition to a green economy.”
The announcement was made during Minister Kateri Champagne Jourdain’s tour of Quebec, where he is addressing employment challenges across the country. Champagne Jourdain is responsible for for the Centre-du-Québec region and MNA for Johnson.
