How do the changes affect the Red Seal Program?
For over 50 years, the provinces/territories and industry groups, such as construction unions and their employer partners, have placed great stock and invested much effort into the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program. The Red Seal Program is highlighted as a model for labour mobility in the AIT and Ontario’s commitment to the program is clear in the proposed legislation. Workers with the Red Seal will continue to enjoy full labour mobility. The Ontario government is committed to supporting industry in maintaining and enhancing the Red Seal Program. We want to help ensure that the Red Seal Program remains strong, relevant and viable, both as a vehicle for labour mobility and as the Canadian standard of excellence for training and certification in the skilled trades.
