BRAMPTON, Ont. — Ontario high school students will soon be able to spend most of their time in Grade 11 and 12 in an apprenticeship if they choose to participate in a new skilled trades program.
The province is creating a new stream within its Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program that will allow students in Grade 11 and 12 to spend 80 per cent of their time in co-op courses, intended to accelerate their entrance into the skilled trades.Piccini says in order to meet the demands of building critical infrastructure, the province will need 500,000 more people in the skilled trades over the next decade.
Asked what actions his government would take if encampments on university grounds related to pro-Palestinian protests occurred in Ontario, Premier Doug Ford responded on Tuesday that he has "all the confidence in the world" the universities' security can handle the situation. His message to protesters was, "Don't interrupt some students' graduation. Don't interrupt the students from learning...Don't cause any problems there," adding he supports students.
Police in riot gear have been forced to break up protesters at a California university hours after Columbia University in New York was raided. Hundreds of campus protesters have been arrested across the country over the past week. The clashes on the University of California, Los Angeles campus took place early on Wednesday morning outside a tent encampment, where pro-Palestinian protesters erected barricades and plywood for protection, which counter-protesters tried to pull down.
