What is tradeability?

Tradeability.ca is a collaborative effort between community partners in Durham Region.  This local project which has been ongoing since 2003 is led by the Durham Region Local Training Board.  Our goal is to meet current and future market demand for skilled tradespeople in Durham Region and provide a single point of access and referral for information on careers in the skilled trades.

This Employment Ontario project is funded in part by the Government of Canada
