Ontario helping workers access skills training faster
AI Article Summary

The Ontario government is proposing changes to streamline the construction of Skills Development Fund (SDF) training centers, aiming to help workers amidst U.S. tariffs and economic challenges. These changes will allow faster construction by removing certain regulatory hurdles, while maintaining health and safety standards. The proposal includes amendments to the Working for Workers Acts, addressing issues like fraudulent job ads and simplifying processes for construction projects with certified safety management systems. LiUNA Local 506 and the Ontario Road Builders Association praise these developments for facilitating better training and upholding safety standards.
