LO Eastern Ontario Apprenticeship
With summer quickly approaching, companies across the province are gearing up for another busy season. Now is the time to promote training and register your staff for the Apprenticeship Program. Registration is easy, and Landscape Ontario will support you from start to finish. Apprenticeship is a mix of on-the-job training and two, 12-week, in-class sessions that will create a knowledgeable and confident employee.
The program offers a number of benefits, both tangible and intangible to both the employer and the employee. The employer benefits include: improved staff retention and loyalty, no financial cost, tax and grant incentives, and more confident and skilled staff.
Employees who take part in the program benefit through: $4,000 in grant money, hands-on learning, ability to obtain Red Seal status, a nationally-recognized designation, diversifying their professional knowledge.
If you have staff interested in registering to upgrade their skills or require more information, please contact Alex Gibson, LO’s Apprenticeship Program coordinator at jagibson@landscapeontario.com or 613-809-5093 or visit horticulturetechnician.ca.
