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
Welcome message from Sandy Smiles,
Tradeability Project Officer
Durham Region Local Training Board
This was our first year hosting a booth at the 14th Annual Autofest, one of the largest car shows in Ontario. The owners of these vehicles take a great deal of pride by maintaining their vehicles and in most cases to their original condition. They should be complimented along with those trades people who originally built them and those that have restored them. I would like to thank those volunteers who helped us at our booth including Rick and Kody Lea, Bill Harford, Michelle World and Dani Mosey from the John Howard Society of Durham Region, my daughter Kristine and husband Rick.
In this issue we have included some sample questions that we have received and our responses. We have made some improvements to administering the Candidate Manager System, which we have included as a separate topic as well as plans for an Employer Resource Booklet.
We hope you enjoy this issue!
