Training and Apprenticeships
- Support life long training and apprenticeships among employers and employees, especially low-income workers, including through Trades Academics.
- Raise the current cap on the number of apprentices, particularly those spread across several small business employers instead of one.
- Free vocational training and redeployment opportunities for those in high-emission industries to enable a transition to climate safe work.
- Increase resources for meaningful training of people currently out of work or underemployed, including through community education programmes.
- Implement better retraining to ensure that valuable skills and knowledge are not lost when workers suffer permanent injuries.
