First ever Ont. based apprenticeship summit

Supporting the apprenticeship and certification model, promoting the skilled trades, facilitating research in the skilled trades, and building an inclusive skilled trades sector are the four pillars that Skilled Trades Ontario will be working on over the next three years. The strategic plan was announced at the government agency’s first Industry Summit on Apprenticeship, which was held at the Toronto Congress Centre on May 3 during the Skills Ontario Competition. The framework was shared with over 250 industry leaders, educators, and apprentices.

The first-ever Industry Summit on Apprenticeship was held during the Skills Ontario Competition and drew a crowd of attendees and apprentices to discuss the system in Ontario.

Guests of the summit were able to provide feedback on the strategic plan by asking questions and participating in workshops.

Hydronic training offered by Eden Energy Eden Energy Equipment hosted a “building science” training event, which featured Dr. Allison Bailes as the keynote professor. The event lasted two days and provided attendees with an insight into how a home can run more efficiently. Most of the source material for the training came from Bailes’ book, “A House Needs to Breathe… Or Does It?” As such, the presentation explored the basic science of buildings and explored the myths and misinformation that pervade the world of home building, remodelling, maintenance, and operation. The training session consisted of Bailes walking guests through three main chapters, starting from the end — the building enclosure and the mechanical systems. Around 40 guests attended both training days. In between training sessions, guests were able to walk the Eden Energy training facility and enjoy refreshments and lunch. Bailes also had copies of his book available for purchase.

Watts employees gathered together in one of the training rooms at its new Fort Worth learning centre to formally cut the ribbon and celebrate the official grand opening of the facility. It took two tries to get the giant scissors to cut through the ribbon, which led to the group laughing and uttering something about technical difficulties.

New Watts learning centre opens in Fort Worth

Watts Works opened its seventh learning centre in North America in Fort Worth, Texas. The training centre is set to train Canadian contractors on many different Watts-specific products, many of which are manufactured at the facility.

A group of trades-specific media were invited down to tour the 3,600 sq. ft. learning centre, office areas, and manufacturing floor. We were able to see Watts employees conduct robotic welding and cutting, laser metal cutting, and sheet metal rolling. At this specific facility, PVI water heaters, Blücher stainless-steel trench and HygienicPro drains, and Ames and Watts in-building risers are produced.

To commemorate the official opening of the facility, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held.
