CollegeBoreal

College Boreal is offering women a great opportunity to get the education they need to enter the skilled trades.

A new 40-week pre-apprenticeship program is being offered for those interested in jump-starting their career as an Industrial Mechanic Millwright.

Boreal’s manger of apprenticeship programs, Denis Brouillette says the program begins in Sudbury and Timmins July 13th.

The free course is funded by the Ontario Women’s Directorate that provides grants for innovative education and training programs.

It’s hoped a program like this will help ease the shortage of workers in the skilled trades.
