    Skilled Trades Awareness Programs

     Over the last four years, the Training Division has been very active in the promotion of Skilled Trades with North-Western Ontario targeting regional high school students, employers, parents, educators, and other key stakeholders. These awareness programs were delivered through the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) in partnetship with regional high schools who were responsible for student placement and the Passport-to-Prosperity Program. This program was to build awareness among regional employers about the potential of placing high school students in skilled trade Co-op placements. The Passport-to-Prosperity Program will be run by Crescive Corporation staff until December 31, 2007.

    These skilled trade awareness initiatives will be continued by the KPDSB under the banner and brand of 'Tools [th]at Work'. Please click on the 'Tools [th]at Work' logo on the left or type http://cidf.crescive.ca.
