UNIFOR’S AUTO MANUFACTURING PROGRAM ATTRACTS WOMEN Skilled Trades & Technology Awareness Program hailed a success

“When there are not a lot of women around [in the skilled trades], there is no one to compare yourself to,” says Terry Weymouth, Unifor national skilled trades coordinator. The entire curriculum of Unifor’s program is developed and facilitated by women, she notes.

“Seeing other women really helps raise confidence and helps motivate others to explore the skilled trades,” she adds. “You no longer have to feel like the first person entering the field.”

A 2013 Statistics Canada report revealed women made up just over 14 per cent of those in registered apprenticeship programs. Weymouth says that the low numbers are due to a lack of role models and mentors for women to help raise awareness about career options.

Unifor Local 444 member, Paul Sousa, who also sits on the College’s Board of Governors, recently met with the students to discuss the College’s role in training and skilled trades careers.

T

his past June, 50 women from across the province completed the Unifor Women’s Skilled Trades & Technology Awareness Program—a week-long mentorship program held in Port Elgin, designed specifically for women working in the auto manufacturing sector.

The program, which runs at no cost to participants, helps women determine which trade is best suited to their interests, provides practical advice on how to overcome perceived barriers and connects them to peers who have successfully made the skilled trades a full-time career.

Since its launch in 2001, the program has seen its share of success and support from the skilled trades community, including Skills Ontario and the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum. These organizations have contributed a tremendous amount of resources to bring awareness to skilled trades careers and promote the industry as a viable career option to women.

Dave Cassidy, Unifor national skilled trades council chair says: “Unifor recognizes that diversity in the trades is an asset we can’t ignore and that training is an integral part of allowing women to see their potential.”

he repairs and component replacement of motor vehicles has evolved, and so have the ways in which we teach those skills to apprentices.

The world of automotive repair has come a long way in the last 150 years.

Technological advances, safer vehicle construction and better fuel efficiency are just some of the accepted standards in the industry.

Mike Kennelly is a program coordinator for auto body apprenticeship programs at Fanshawe College and was a member of the working group that recently updated the curriculum standard for the auto body and collision damage repairer trade.

P H OTO G R A P H S P R O V I D E D B Y M I K E K E N N E L LY

He says that the updated curriculum reflects what shops are working on during day-to-day operations. “The updates are a crucial step forward for skills growth and development for apprentices, and to equip them with the foundations they will need to be on top of repairs and the technology they encounter daily.”

Kennelly adds that today’s vehicles are built with many types of different materials, like advanced high-strength steel, structural aluminum stampings and extrusions, magnesium reinforced panels, plastics and composites—all of which require individual repair considerations and procedures based on how they are utilized within the vehicle.

A student at Fanshawe College’s Auto Body Apprenticeship Program learns the techniques of automotive spray painting.

Not knowing how to properly handle the varying types of materials during the construction or repair process could be deadly.

“Simply applying the incorrect amount of heat to one location or layer of unfamiliar material could be detrimental to the structural integrity of that vehicle in a subsequent collision causing injury or death,” he warns.

Other changes include added hours to level 1 and 2 of applied mechanical, to train on the collision safety and conve-

nience systems. New additions include fundamentals of paintless dent repair and components of electronic safety and convenience systems, such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, frontal crash prevention, lane departure warning, and assistance. The subject of shielded metal arc welding – stick welding was removed.

UPDATED CURRICULUM standard can be found on the College’s website at www.collegeoftrades.ca.

JOHN SOINI

From industrial millwright to industry magnate

JOHN SOINI Energy East President

J

ohn Soini is the President of Energy East, TransCanada’s pipeline project, which will connect Western Canada to the East Coast by a 4,600-kilometre pipeline carrying 1.1-million barrels of crude oil per day. Soini also headed the Bruce A Restart Project, which involved the refurbishment of two nuclear power plants in 2012, but his story begins in the skilled trades.

Trades Today: How and when did you start working in the trades?

JOHN SOINI: I am a northern Ontario boy, from a small town west of Thunder Bay called Upsala, where I hunted, fished and played hockey. My

father was both an electrician and a millwright and as a young boy I had a real interest for machinery. At the age of 15, I started working in a lumber mill and I soon realized I wanted to get my Red Seal certification as a millwright.

I collected the hours through the apprenticeship program and studied like crazy until I could finally write the exam. I must say that passing that exam was probably one of the biggest accomplishments of my life.

TT: How long did you work as a millwright and how did you end up in the position you are today— at the helm of Energy East?

P H OTO G R A P H S P R O V I D E D B Y J O H N S O I N I

Having first-hand experience as a skilled trades professional is what gave me the confidence I needed to be successful in a corporate environment.

JS: I worked as a millwright directly on the tools for just over five years on the Canadian Mainline. I was asked to lead maintenance planning activities for all the sites from Regina to North Bay. Then I was asked to lead one of TransCanada’s project management teams—building compressor stations similar to those I overhauled as a millwright. I wasn’t sure how I would fit in the corporate office given my background but I quickly realized I was extremely valued there.

Having first-hand experience as a skilled trades professional is what gave me the confidence I needed to be successful in a corporate environment. I also got an MBA from the University of Calgary and in 2009, I was asked to go to Bruce Power as vice-president of the Restart project. After that, I was asked to go back to TransCanada as vice-president, where I formed a team of engineers and tradespeople to develop the plans for Energy East. In 2015, I was asked to be president.

TT: What kind of actions or decisions had the biggest impact on your career?

JS: The biggest career decision that I’ve made is the choice to take risks and to step out of my comfort zone—I learned

this along the way from some of the leaders that I admire the most.

TT: Do you have mentors and personal heroes?

JS: My father has had the most positive influence on my life. He opened my eyes to the trades and he saw the interest I had from an early age. He taught me that good things come from hard work and to never give up, no matter what.

TT: What do you like best about the work you did in the trades and how does it relate to your work now?

JS: A sense of pride was instilled in me early in my career as a millwright and stays with me today. In my current role, I represent the safety and craftsmanship of the trades when I talk about pipeline construction, safety and integrity.

TT: How familiar are you with the Ontario College of Trades?

JS: I recall having initial conversations about the College in 2009—I was highly supportive because I think regulation continues to validate the high standards within our trades in Ontario. The College also serves our tradespeople by ensuring they have the proper education and qualifications to perform at their best.

TT: What is your favourite thing about what you do? Do you have any great memories or favourite anecdotes you could share?

JS: I love to help people be successful; whether it’s to make their job easier, more productive, less frustrating, or just more enjoyable. This leads to probably one of my best memories at Bruce Power. We got the trades involved in the engineering of tooling, planning and scheduling and I was exceptionally pleased with the improvements we saw. This was one of the proudest moments of my life.

TT: What advice would you give to young people wanting to get into the skilled trades today?

JS: If it’s in your heart, go for it, earn your way there—it’s worth the effort because you will be joining an elite family of tradespeople who hold themselves to the highest standards. I couldn’t be more proud to say I am a part of that as a tradesperson.

Establish a mentor, listen, and learn.

Take your time with learning and develop good habits early in your career, especially as they relate to safety and quality in workmanship.

BLITZES PROVINCE

Protecting Ontarians through compliance and awareness

BOB ONYSCHUK Director, Compliance and Enforcement

T

he College’s enforcement team was back on the road this summer for another industry blitz, this time focusing on school buses and residential, industrial, and commercial projects in the construction sector.

In time for back to school, enforcement officers conducted a safety blitz focusing on workers in the compulsory truck and coach technician trade, who repair school buses. More than 30 inspectors visited 244 locations across Ontario during the two-week operation, issuing provincial offence notices and educating tradespeople about the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (the Act).

Workers with expired College memberships were renewed, and companies were warned that engaging uncertified workers would lead to charges.

Bob Onyschuk, the College’s director of the compliance and enforcement division says that although the compliance rate was 97 per cent, the goal must be 100.

“With thousands of students across the province returning to school this month, we wanted to make sure that parents have one less thing to worry about when their children board a school bus in the morning,” he says. “The College wants to ensure that only certified individuals are working on school buses.”

A blitz differs from regular inspections because its aim is to cover a specific sector and region, with a large number of officers, for a specific period of time.

Due to a jump in volume of phone calls and complaints from the public, enforcement officers also inspected sites in the residential construction sector in Ottawa earlier this summer. Their focus was on tradespeople in compulsory trades working on new residential construction projects. Ten officers worked over a four-day period to verify credentials.

Most tradespeople whose worksites were inspected welcomed the officers, says enforcement supervisor, Julien Marleau.

The latest post-blitz report from Ottawa states that nearly 94 per cent of people inspected were in compliance.

While it’s important for the College to weed out uncertified workers during these blitzes, enforcement officers are finding that an educational component

is still relevant, especially around the Act. To address the lack of awareness, officers provide membership information and assist with applications and renewals.

“Some tradespeople are still learning about the functions of the College and roles and responsibilities of our enforcement officers. We are here to help and educate as much as we can,” says Onyschuk.

Following the Ottawa blitz, enforcement officers tackled Toronto’s industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) construction sector. The focus was on condos in the city’s downtown core. A total of 37 officers worked in 18 teams over the course of a day, to verify credentials, check registered training agreements between employers, spon-

sors and apprentices, and help renew 20 expired memberships.

Similarly, the Toronto blitz occurred due to various complaints received by the College regarding current downtown construction sites. Teams were formed for this blitz because information obtained from previous inspections noted some large project sites required inspections by multiple officers, in order to be effectively executed.

“The blitzes are important since we can focus inspections in a specific sectors and regions. This will not only help us identify sectors or trades that are in need of qualified workers but also help determine areas of the province that are facing the most challenges in general,” adds Marleau.

There are currently over 100 films and television show being shot in Ontario that will continue production throughout the next two years.

According to the Canadian Media Producers Association’s 2015 economic report on screenbased media production in Canada, Ontario maintained its position as the leading province for total film and television production in Canada in 2014 and 2015. The total volume of production was over $2.7 billion, creating 46,250 full-time jobs.

TRADES PLAY A LEADING ROLE “Blockbuster” year results in $1.5 billion economic boost for the TV & film industry

W

hen it comes to film and television production, Ontario is rapidly gaining momentum as a “blockbuster” province. This success presents not only an economic boost, but also many opportunities for skilled trades professionals who want to work in this exciting industry.

Just last year, Ontario’s film and TV industry celebrated a record-breaking year with a $1.5 billion contribution to the economy and the employment of nearly 32,500 fulltime direct and associated jobs.

But, making TV and movie magic happen requires more than just the glamorous actors and directors we so often revere. The Ontario film and TV industry employs countless behind-the-scenes tradespeople to make these creative productions come to life.

For example, hairstylists provide the glam – or in some cases the heinous – hairdos for actors and extras. Sheet metal workers and welders create metal fabrications like

the customized props often seen in futuristic and superhero films. Electricians are responsible for literally lighting up the entire production, while carpenters help build and collapse elaborate sets. Then of course, there are the caterers – the cooks and chefs who prepare and serve food to feed massive crews of hungry workers.

“Skilled trades are an integral part of our province’s success in film and TV production,” says David Tsubouchi, Ontario College of Trades Registrar and CEO. “At the College, we ensure the tradespeople performing the work in compulsory trades have the training and certification required to do so safely and to the high standard we continue to see in this industry and many others.”

On average, every $1 million of film and TV production in Ontario generates 21 full-time direct and associated jobs, according to the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC).

When it comes to our reputation as a TV and film destination, our hard work speaks for itself. “We never tire of hearing directors and producers tell us how great Canadian crews are,” says David Sparrow, President of ACTRA Toronto. “Our talent and crews are top-notch. Canadians know it, of course, but when directors and producers from the U.S. or Europe bring a production here for the first time, it is the competence and professionalism of our talent and crews that convinces them to bring work here again and again.”

Ontario Film Commissioner Justin Cutler says that Ontario’s film and television industry contributed $1.5 billion to the province’s economy last year, a record number fueled by a highly-skilled crew and trades workers. “Their dedication, creativity and hard work are the core of Ontario’s worldclass production eco-system,” he adds.

Although most of the production action happens in Toronto – the city employed

more than 25,000 full-time workers in 2015 – Northern Ontario is increasingly becoming an economic hub for the province’s film and TV activity.

Since 2013, the NOHFC has invested $406 million in projects in northern Ontario, leveraging more than $1.2 billion in direct economic activity that has created or retained a total of 9,179 jobs. This year NOHFC announced its strategic plan to continue investing in creating and retaining thousands of jobs across the north.

For those interested in working in film production or post production, Ontario Media Development Corporation recommends contacting the major unions and guilds, such as Directors Guild of Canada, IATSE Local 411, IATSE Local 667, IATSE Local 873 and NABET CEP Local 700, to find out about mentoring and apprenticeship programs.

GETS AN OVERHAUL t’s been nearly four years in the making, but the new child development practitioner curriculum standard will be rolled out this January.

This new standard was a critical response to three key needs for this sector: 1. the previous curriculum standard was outdated and did not reflect the ideological and philosophical approaches within the field; 2. the standard needed to be harmonized with the early childhood education (ECE) diploma program as the apprenticeship program is an important pathway to becoming a registered ECE;

3. and the recommendations made in the coroner’s inquest into the death of Jeffrey Baldwin, the five-year-old boy who starved to death in 2002 while in the care of his grandparents, needed to be met.

It was these changes and challenges that have led to the development of a fully harmonized and updated curriculum standard that now includes an additional 30 hours of in-school learning dedicated specifically to child protection.

Collège Boréal’s Francine Fox, a registered ECE with 30 years of experience working in the field, and Jennifer Sabatini, early childhood education coordinator at Seneca College, alongside Ontario Col-

lege of Trades staff, have been instrumental in developing the curriculum changes.

Fox says that one of the biggest changes that prompted the overhaul was the perception of the trade both from the public and those working within it. “People who work in the field don’t want to be perceived as glorified babysitters anymore,” she says. “We’re part of the education system responsible for the early years and we need to take our profession seriously.”

The working group, which consisted of educators working in the field, is proud of the accomplishments they’ve achieved in bringing the curriculum up to date with current industry practises.

“It’s a much more demanding field now than it used to be,” says Sabatini.

“There’s so much more knowledge that needs to be acquired and this comes from a lot of the new research on brain development [in a child’s early years].”

A new professional practise course was also added to the curriculum and two final courses on entry to practise were enhanced.

Apprenticeship numbers in the child development practitioner program are significant with the majority of individuals completing the apprenticeship as the pathway to becoming a registered ECE. The curriculum standard is now aligned to the diploma program for easier career transition and ensures that the apprenticeship standard is on par with the vocational pathway.

We’re part of the education system responsible for the early years and we need to take our profession seriously.

“We put careful thought into everything we changed and added,” says Sabatini.

COLLEGE U P D AT E S UPDATE

Trade board meeting minutes The Ontario College of Trades is committed to transparency with its members and the public. Meeting minutes from all levels of governance, including trade board minutes, are publicly posted on the College’s website once they are formally approved by the trade board. All meetings are listed by sector.

For more info visit collegeoftrades.ca/ trade-board-meeting-minutes Ontario Recreation Vehicle Technicians’ Dealers Association (ORVDA) push for apprentice registration and certification In an effort to raise industry standards in Ontario, the ORVDA is embarking on an initiative to encourage all apprentices within the sector to become registered, and working technicians to be assessed through the College’s Trades Equivalency Assessment (TEA), to obtain college credentials.

New Red Seal Occupational Standard The Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship’s pilot project, the Red Seal Occupational Standard (RSOS) in the construction electrician and steamfitter/pipefitter trades, is now complete. The RSOS will replace the National Occupational Analysis (NOA). With active tradespeople involved, insight from employers and trades instructors will garner Canada-wide connections and industry engagement.

New features of the RSOS include descriptions of performance, evidence of attainment and setting specific learning outcomes and learning objectives. These changes are a step to harmonize apprenticeship training across Canada and will help apprenticeship training providers to develop programs that meet industry needs. For more info on RSOS visit red-seal.ca.

Certification exam available for concrete pump operators

The implementation date of the Interprovincial Red Seal examinations is now projected for fall 2016 (originally summer 2016). Individuals applying for multiple HEO trades between Sept. 1, 2015 and Dec. 31, 2016 are eligible for reduced fees:

The first ever provincial Certificate of Qualification (C of Q) exam for the trade of concrete pump operator (637C) will be available this fall. Anyone wishing to obtain a C of Q in this trade, including individuals with an approved application, will be required to successfully pass the new exam and meet all membership fee requirements to be registered in the College’s Journeypersons Class and issued a C of Q.

• Individuals applying in one HEO trade will pay the regular fee of $235 (plus HST);

Effectively immediately, and prior to the release of the provincial C of Q exam:

• Individuals applying in more than one HEO trade will pay a reduced assessment fee of $50 (plus HST) for each additional TEA.

• Holders of a Certificate of Apprenticeship (C of A) issued by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Devel-

Red Seal for heavy equipment operator (HEO) trades

opment can apply to become members of the College’s Journeypersons Class and be issued a C of Q without passing the exam.

• Individuals who are approved through the College’s TEA can apply to become members of the College’s Journeypersons Class and be issued a provincial C of Q without passing a C of Q exam. To be eligible for TEA, 2,159 applicable trade hours are required.

Once the exam is implemented, apprentices will also be required to pass the provincial exam in order to be eligible to receive the Apprenticeship Completion Bonus in non-Red Seal trades.

The introduction of the C of Q exam does not impact the voluntary status of the concrete pump operator trade; holding and maintaining a valid C of Q remains voluntary for this trade.

College’s job board in full swing The College’s pilot project, Hirewithconfidence.ca, is now fully launched. Participation is encouraged from employers or sponsors with available positions and apprentices seeking job opportunities in the skilled trades.

REMINDER: All members of the Employers/ Sponsors Class have the ability to post on the job board and members of the Journeypersons Class who are business owners, can have their business name as well as their individual name searchable on the College’s Public Register.

For more info, visit Hirewithconfidence.ca
