Mar 4, 2025 | Public | 0 comments

The federal government is investing more than $7.2 million to design and construct an inclusive and net-zero skills development space in Scarborough, Ontario.

The accessible facility will feature an industrial workshop, multi-purpose spaces and classrooms, while focusing on high-demand careers in skilled trades and trucking.

There will be partnerships with employers, social service agencies, educational institutions and training providers through programs and employability skills development.

Vikram Khurana, Chairman of the Toronto Business Development Centre, said the project will train local residents to fill in-demand jobs and evolve the local and Canadian job market.

“We need to support Toronto’s workers and businesses during this turbulent time,” said Mayor Olivia Chow. “The Toronto Business Development Centre helps Canadian entrepreneurs to scale their ideas, brings global investors to our neighbourhoods and retrains workers, growing our economy.”
