Skills Ontario Celebrates the Expansion of Trades & Tech Truck Program
December 1, 2025
Skills Ontario is expanding its fleet of Trades & Tech mobile unit thanks to support from the Ontario Government.
The government announced this morning it’s investment in Skills Ontario to expand experiential opportunities for Ontario’s future workforce.
“Ontario’s future relies on a strong, skilled workforce,” said David Piccini, Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. “With more trades and tech trucks on the road — bringing VR learning, simulators and hands-on stations directly to Ontario’s youth — we’re inspiring the next generation and opening pathways to good-paying careers in the skilled trades.”
“Skills Ontario is thrilled to add two more mobile learning units to our Trades & Tech Truck program. These mobile units provide experiential opportunities inspiring young people to explore careers in the trades,” said Ian Howcroft, CEO, Skills Ontario. “We thank the Ford government and Minister Piccini for their support and leadership in promoting the trades and building the skilled workforce of the future. Together, we are changing lives and inspiring leaders through skilled trades and technologies.”
Skills Ontario was pleased to tour Premier Ford, Minister Quinn and others through one of the mobile learning units at the LevelUp! Career Fair which ran November 25 to 28 at the Toronto International Centre.
Skills Ontario thanks the Ontario Government in making this innovative project a reality to promote skilled trade and technology careers to Ontario’s youth and their communities, ensuring a bright future for these industries across the province.
