The trades are still in high demand
More than 50% of skilled trades workers are preparing for retirement within the next 15 years. Not nearly enough people are entering the trades. Ontario, like the rest of Canada, is facing a severe shortage of workers in the skilled trades. If you’re considering the skilled trades as a career option, this shortage represents a significant opportunity.
