In October, the Canadian government announced a $880-million initiative aimed at encouraging young Canadians to pursue careers in skilled trades. Starting early next year, eligible youth can access paid placements lasting up to four months to gain hands-on experience before beginning an apprenticeship. This program is part of a larger $8-billion investment made by the Liberals in spring 2025 to promote skilled trades across Canada. The initiative also includes discussions with provinces and territories for bilateral agreements that would provide them with $2 billion to expand access to pre-apprenticeship and technical training programs. Additionally, those who complete an apprenticeship and earn a Red Seal certification will be eligible for a $5,000 bonus, available from late 2025 onwards.
