Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced $4.7 million in funding to enhance training for people working in the automotive sector.
“This investment will support a new job placement program led by the Auto Parts Manufacturers’ Association of Canada to provide people with hands-on training focused on manufacturing basics, health and safety, and other critical skills,” Ford said Wednesday at a press conference held in a Transform Automotive Canada plant in south-east London, Ont.
“The second project, led by the Automotive Industries Association of Canada, will provide workers with classrooms and in-shop training to get the skills they need to transition and launch their careers in the electric vehicle industry.”
