It could be you: training and getting work in just four weeks. If you’re over 18 and unemployed or underemployed, you qualify for the training program manufacturers in eastern Ontario have helped create so they can hire workers with skills they need to fill [vacant manufacturing positions](https://blog.ontarioeast.ca/top-3-trends-in-manufacturing-jobs). And there's lots of jobs to be had. [Pathways to Production](https://www.eecentre.com/pathways-to-production.php) is what we call a win-win situation.
