Magna Intl., Skills Ontario grow partnership for skill development programs

Skills Ontario will receive a $125,000 investment from automotive supplier Magna Intl. in support of the 2018 Skills Ontario Competition, Skills Ontario Young Women’s Initiatives, and Skills Ontario Summer Camps. The investment will help Skills Ontario accommodate a growing number of students who want to participate in the various skill development programs that the organization offers.

This new investment from Magna builds on the company’s investment of $100,000 in 2017 that supported experiential learning, skill development, and mentorship opportunities to more than 3,000 youth in Ontario annually through Skills Ontario Young Women’s Initiatives and Summer Camps. Another 2,300 competitors and 30,000 visitors were impacted through Magna’s investment in the 2017 Skills Ontario Competition.
