Welcome to the Toronto Community Benefits Training Centre

The Toronto Community Benefits Network has built a strong community-labour partnership with a support base of workforce development agencies, learning institutions and funders.

Collectively, we are having impact on how the development process works, guided by the principles of the foundation document crafted by our members and supporters. In it, we envision Toronto as an inclusive, thriving city in which all residents have equitable opportunities to contribute to healthy communities and a prospering economy.

Apprenticeship-ready workers are in demand by Canadian unionized construction trades, which include residential housing construction, institutional and commercial building construction, specialized industrial construction, and infrastructure and heavy construction.

The Apprenticeship-Ready Curriculum for Unionized Construction Trades delivers approximately 63 hours of programming in five units and 18 modules. The intent of the curriculum is to provide information, activities and resources to help participants understand the industry and prepare them for obtaining an apprenticeship and a construction job in a unionized workplace.
