Ottawa just opened a $430 million trades pool. The Canadian federal government launched applications today through an expanded union training program.
Starting next spring, unions can apply for extra capital to expand training facilities and infrastructure. A separate stream temporarily boosts contributions to help eligible organizations cover training equipment costs.
Nearly half of the money ties to a previous pledge recruiting 100,000 tradesworkers. It funds union facilities, training equipment, and recruitment over 5 5 years.
