Ontario College of TradesThe McGuinty government has passed legislation to establish the Ontario College of Trades, a regulatory college that will modernize the province's apprenticeship and skilled trades system. The College will encourage more people to work in the trades and help the system better serve employers, skilled tradespeople, apprentices and consumers. Establishing the College puts skilled trades on a similar footing with teachers, doctors and nurses, who have their own professional regulatory colleges. The College was established after expert reviews and public consultations. Its governance structure provides a balanced approach that considers the needs of its members, the economy and the public.
