It’s great to see that Ontario is investing additional funds to address labour shortages and promote economic growth in the province. With half of all new immigrants settling in Ontario and the federal government doubling the number of economic immigrants selected, it is important to ensure that these newcomers have access to training and support to help them find employment in their fields.
The additional $3 million allocated to help internationally trained immigrants find employment and obtain faster access to training and support toward a license or certificate will be especially beneficial. It will help remove barriers for newcomers to enter the workforce, which can help them settle into their new home more easily.
The $75 million investment into the Skills Development Fund over the next three years is also a positive step. This will provide workers and job seekers with the skills they need to access new opportunities and advance their careers. The investment in the new capital stream of the Skills Development Fund to expand access to training centers is also important, as it will help train more workers in careers in the skills trades and other in-demand jobs.
Overall, these measures show that Ontario is committed to supporting newcomers and providing them with the resources they need to succeed in the province.
