Ontario Launching Mobile Skilled Trades Classrooms
The government has announced that $5.4 million is being invested to design and build three mobile tech classrooms that will travel across the province and teach students and young people about the skilled trades.
The classrooms, built and operated by Skills Ontario, will feature hands-on learning stations and simulators for electrical systems, welding, crane operation, auto-painting, tire and break work, heavy machinery, and more.
Over three years, they will let nearly half a million people explore the skilled trades and will help tackle the labour shortage the province faces in a critical industry. This follows the success of a pilot program featuring a mobile classroom that launched in March 2022, which visited more than 50 events across the province.
