Apprenticeship is part of the answer. ⬇️

Apprentices earn while they learn, gaining hands-on experience alongside technical training. As tradespeople advance, they build expertise, achieve certification, mentor the next generation, and contribute to the continued growth of the industry.

This progression strengthens not only individual careers, but also the long-term stability and competitiveness of Ontario’s unionized ICI construction sector.

💪 A strong industry depends on strong training systems. Apprenticeship remains one of the most effective ways to develop the skilled workforce needed for the future.

The Construction Employers Coordinating Council of Ontario (CECCO) works to support a stable and competitive unionized ICI construction sector across the province.

At the centre of this work is a shared objective between employers and unions: keeping members working.

Through coordinated collective bargaining, the goal is to achieve balanced agreements that support ongoing work opportunities while maintaining fair wages, strong training systems, and long-term workforce stability.

A consistent and coordinated approach helps ensure the industry remains competitive and continues to provide well-paying union jobs across Ontario.

CECCO is encouraging everyone to keep their for someone they care about, even beyond Men's Health Month.

The Suspenders On campaign, led by the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation, is a visible reminder to check in, start conversations, and support the men in our lives.

The message is especially important within the skilled trades. Men account for approximately 75% of suicides in Canada, and many of those affected work in industries where long hours, physical demands, and workplace culture can make it difficult to ask for help.

Ontario’s unionized construction sector is built on strong partnerships, strong training systems, and strong communities. Looking out for one another is part of that foundation. Take the time to connect with a colleague, friend, family member, or fellow tradesperson. A simple conversation can make a difference.

It’s Public Service Week, a time to recognize the contributions of those who support public infrastructure and services across the province.

Ontario’s unionized ICI construction sector plays a key role in delivering the infrastructure that supports communities, including institutional and public-use facilities. Through coordinated planning, training, and collective agreements, the industry supports the delivery of projects that are essential to public services.

Every day in Ontario, employers and workers in the ICI sector are working to build the province. Workers range from mechanical to electrical, crane operators to drywallers to plumbers, working on projects that include hospitals, schools, government and industrial buildings, and other key pieces of infrastructure. The success of the sector is directly related to the strong partnerships between contractors, workers and unions.

A stable and skilled workforce remains critical to meeting the ongoing infrastructure needs of Ontario.
