Ontario Government Supports Training
and Apprenticeship in the London Area
Fanshawe College will be training more apprentices to meet local demand for workers
in the London area.
Ontario is providing $800,000 over the next three years for Fanshawe College to
train agricultural equipment technicians, truck and coach technicians, heavy duty
equipment technicians, industrial mechanic millwrights, industrial electricians and
construction and maintenance electricians.
Through the Apprenticeship Enhancement Fund, the College will invest in simulation
software and accompanying training stations to teach electrical, mechanical,
pneumatic and hydraulic principles to various trades so that training will keep pace
with technological changes. The fund will also help the College train
more apprentices.
"Fanshawe College provides opportunities in fields where demand for workers is very high,
especially in the skilled trades. We are a leader in apprenticeship training and continue
to work with our governments, faculty and community partners to match the skills of our
students to the needs of industry," said Rod Cameron, Dean,
Faculty of Technology.
These upgrades are part of the $2-billion
