The College is welcoming it’s fourth cohort of the free 12-week program that offers job readiness skills, technical training as an Aircraft Interior Technician or Upholstery Technician and a paid work placement with a local company.
According to program coordinators, there is a particular need for skilled workers in upholstery refurbishing.
“This is a great opportunity for anyone in our community who is unemployed or underemployed. There is industry demand for workers locally as well as beyond the region,” said Pam Stoneham, Dean of the School of Trades and Technology at Fleming.
The program is open to early school leavers, unemployed or underemployed youth and adults. EI eligible and non-EI eligible as well as women, Indigenous peoples and newcomers to Canada are encouraged to apply.
