Calling All Skilled Trades Employers
Building Stronger Pathways to Employment
29 Roots Employment Services is bringing together employers, contractors, unions, industry leaders, and community partners for a Skilled Trades Employer Town Hall focused on one important goal: building stronger pathways from training to apprenticeship and employment.
The skilled trades industry needs qualified workers. At the same time, many talented job-seekers in communities such as Jane-Finch need access to training, industry connections, apprenticeship opportunities, and employers willing to invest in their potential.
29 Roots is building the bridge.
