The money will fund a pair of programs designed to provide roughly 360 participants with skills in machine operation, assembly, quality control and logistics, while also preparing automotive technicians.

Ontario is spending $4.7 million to offer free training to a handful of people seeking employment in the province’s emerging electric-vehicle field.

Jobseekers, including those from underrepresented groups, will complete online and hands-on training focused on manufacturing essentials, health and safety, effective oral communication, planning, troubleshooting and other critical industry skills. APMA President Flavio Volpe said the auto industry “continues to face labour shortages” and this program will help fill jobs.

The second project, managed by the Automotive Industries Association of Canada , will help 90 technicians and 70 other jobseekers gain the skills needed to transition to and launch careers in the electric-vehicle industry.
