Merit Ontario for Apprenticeship

Supporting employers and apprentices.

Merit Ontario for Apprenticeship is revolutionizing the pathway to apprenticeships in Ontario construction. As a Group Sponsor, we offer a solution with a collaborative approach to ensure apprentices & employers get the support they need to make Apprenticeship Training accessible & affordable. As the sponsor we act as an intermediate between the Ministry of Labour Immigration Training, Skills Development and Skilled Trades Ontario for the apprentice and the employer. We take away the burden of administration and help guide the apprentice’s transition from new employee to licensed journeyperson. This allows the apprentice and the employer to focus on on-the-job training, health & safety and operations.

Our Mission: Shaping Careers in Construction

Our goal is to help apprentices complete their training and pursue rewarding careers in construction. Merit Ontario for Apprenticeship is dedicated to boosting the skilled trades workforce. This is done by increasing the number of apprentices who achieve their Certificate of Qualification (CofQ).
