Six of the top 10 winners of the electrical installations component of the recent Skills Ontario Competition represented International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) locals; the remaining four top 10 winners were Ontario college students. The list of top 10 winners appears below.

The Skills Ontario Competition featured nearly 70 skilled trades and technologies contests, and 2,300 competitors. It’s the largest skilled trades and technology competition in Canada.
A broad range of skills and careers were represented from across the manufacturing, transportation, construction, service, and technology sectors, as students competed for gold, silver, and bronze medals. Over $65,000 in monetary awards were presented to medalists in select contest areas and categories, as were job offers from partnered organizations, at the closing ceremony.

Gold medalists in select contests are also eligible to represent Team Ontario at the Skills Canada National Competition, June 4-5 in Edmonton.

“Those who compete at the Skills Ontario Competition are the future of skilled trades and technologies in Ontario,” says Ian Howcroft, CEO of Skills Ontario. “Because of the contribution from many industry, education, labour, and government partners, including the Government of Ontario, Skills Ontario is able to help prepare Ontario’s youth for a highly-skilled workforce of tomorrow through such initiatives as the Skills Ontario Competition.”

Skills Ontario aims to build Ontario’s skilled trades and technologies workforce. The organization delivers in-school presentations across Ontario, host Canada’s largest skills competition, run summer camps for skills development and connect students to employers.

Here’s a list of the top 10 electrical installation winners.
