About Us

Local Training Boards are independent not-for-profit organizations sponsored by the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities (MTCU). These organizations are made up of volunteer Board Members and staff who have demonstrated an interest in employment and training issues in their communities and include representatives of business, labour, educators/trainers, women, francophones, people with disabilities, visible minorities, and other groups that may be relevant to their specific area.

The MTCU funded activities of Local Training Boards focus on partnership development , and the Trends, Opportunities and Priorities (TOP) document. In addition, Local Training Boards carry out a number of initiatives in their geographic areas.
