Oakville MPP Stephen Crawford visited Local 793’s training institute, OETIO, to formally acknowledge receipt of the 2023 Apprenticeship Capital Grant Competitive Funding Program from the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD).
Funding was used to purchase eight simulator upgrades from CM Labs (four at the Oakville campus and four at the Morrisburg campus), as well as an excavator, which is expected to be delivered to Morrisburg in late October.

The Apprenticeship Capital Grant Competitive Funding provides capital funding for training delivery agents to upgrade their equipment and training facilities in order to keep up with evolving technology and to train apprentices on equipment that is relevant to employers.
