The Project Agreement between Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario with Crosslinx Transit Solution requires among other things, the development and implementation of Apprenticeship Plan which includes specific objectives for apprenticeship opportunities for the Project on a trade-by-trade basis, apprenticeship opportunities for each trade required on the Project and a program to ensure the required supply of apprentices to meet CTS’s Apprenticeship Plan objectives and requirements.
See link to the Apprenticeship Plan and Construction Schedule. In addition, the Declaration, signed in December 2016, sets out an aspiration to achieving a goal of employing apprentices or journeypersons from historically disadvantaged communities and equity seeking groups to perform 10% of all trade or craft working hours, on a trade by trade basis, required to construct the Project.
