SAO has worked closely with manufacturers in eastern Ontario to understand the skills required to succeed in their companies. But instead of trying to find employees with the technical skills that match the job, SAO is providing training for 50 job seekers starting in September of 2019.
The job seekers will gain the skills and experience they need to work with local manufacturers in Leeds and Grenville. Sector-specific training was developed with the help of Loyalist College, the Employment + Education Centre, and the participating companies.
The landscape of manufacturing is rapidly changing in eastern Ontario, and it is sure to evolve into the future with advances in automation and artificial intelligence. Even if you take part in the SAO programs to develop your skills for a particular job, it’s important to continue to upskill in your career so that you can stay on top of your game in your manufacturing career.
