Helping Newcomers Work In Their Field
McGuinty Government Invests in Skills Training
Ontario is helping 1,265 skilled newcomers prepare to get jobs that match their education, qualifications and experience.
The province is supporting eight successful bridge training programs in Ottawa, Toronto and London that help internationally trained individuals adapt their education, experience and skills to the Ontario job market, without duplicating their previous learning or training.
Newcomers who have been educated or who have trained internationally in a range of professions, including civil engineering, nursing, dieticians, midwifery, social work and skilled construction trades can take part in this program.
Support for bridge training programs is an important part of the government's Open Ontario Plan to strengthen the economy by investing in the skills and knowledge of all Ontarians.
QUOTES

– Dr. Eric Hoskins
Minister of Citizenship and Immigration
