You are Invited Inform the future of LO’s Apprenticeship Program Services eblast

I would like to invite you to our planning and strategy meeting on Fri, Dec. 3rd at Landscape Ontario’s Head Office to provide your input on increasing engagement and participation of the horticulture and landscaping industry in the provincial Horticultural Technician 441C Apprenticeship program. I will be facilitating this meeting in-person with our apprenticeship team.

With our current labour market, the growth of our horticulture and landscaping workforce will rely on our collective expertise and innovation. At Landscape Ontario, we believe the Horticultural Technician 441C Apprenticeship Program is a gift to our industry that is under-utilized.

As an industry leader, we are seeking your experience to inform the future of this provincial skilled trades program.

The goals of our planning and strategy meeting are three-fold:

1. Gain in-depth understanding of the gift of apprenticeship.
2. Share your expertise and industry perspective about your workforce gaps.
3. Together as an industry, collaborate and develop innovative strategies to engage our profession in participating in apprenticeship and taking our workforce to the next level.

To attend and participate, RSVP here by Mon., Nov 29th.
A light lunch and refreshments will also be provided.

Please note that COVID-19 protocols at our Head Office are in place, such as masks, proof of vaccination, temperature check, and completion of COVID-19 screening form prior to arrival or upon arrival. If you are not vaccinated, we require a negative COVID-19 rapid test that we can provide. Please indicate if you require this test, and arrive on-site 15-20 mins. early.
