Less than a month into his new role as the head of ONskilledtrades , Steven Crombie said going forward the alliance will focus on ensuring the provincial government continues providing funding for the skilled trades and reducing barriers to entry.
“The very first issue objective that I have undertaken and identified is ensuring the provincial government continues with its funding of the Skills Development Fund ,” said Crombie, adding the government has provided three rounds of the funding. “It’s empowered employers and supported their training and upskilling of their workers and allowing them the flexibility to design their own programs.”
“Something that we have long asked the government to consider is putting the power of training back in the employers’ hands,” Crombie explained. “I’ve been involved in skilled trades issues and policy development for just over five years now and I’m really excited to take on a leading role,” he said.The provincial government, and in particular Minister of Labour, Training and Skills Development Monte McNaughton, have been putting a lot of attention on the trades, Crombie said.
“The government has committed to build 1.5 million new homes,” said Crombie. “We understand Highway 413, the Bradford Bypass and the Ontario Line are major transit objectives. In addition to all of that we have deteriorating infrastructure, so there is going to be a sustained demand on careers in the skilled trades, especially at a time when aging demographics are going to create a tighter labour pinch.
