St. Clair College received over $650,000 from the provincial government to upgrade and replace machines needed for skilled trades training.
The money comes from the Apprenticeship Capital Grant, which helps improve and modernize training facilities that support hands-on learning.
“This Apprenticeship Capital Grant will help provide St. Clair College with the modern equipment it needs to train people for jobs in Windsor / Essex that are currently going unfilled,” said Windsor-Tecumseh MPP Andrew Dowie.
St. Clair College President Patti France said this investment will support students and industries that need skilled employees.
"This grant of over $650,000 to, specifically, replace some of our CNC machines, will ensure that our General Machinist apprenticeship training remains vibrantly up-to-date and accessible – benefitting both the program’s enrollees and the industries which so urgently need their skills. These machines are also used by our Tool and Die and Mould-making students,” said France.
