Doble calls on city to get behind skilled trades programs at Fleming College

Council received a memorandum from Ward 5 Coun. Mark Doble calling on the city to advocate for the expansion of skilled trades programs at Fleming College’s Frost Campus to help train local workers and meet growing demand in construction and related fields.

Speaking at the May 5 committee of the whole meeting, Doble said the city should work with Fleming to expand programs such as the heavy equipment operator course at the Frost Campus and bring additional trades training currently offered at the Sutherland Campus in Peterborough to Lindsay.
