Bridge Training Programs
Bridge training programs help qualified internationally trained individuals move quickly into the labour market in Ontario. They assess your existing skills and competencies, compared to Ontario employer expectations. They provide training and Canadian workplace experience without duplicating what you have already learned.

Each bridge training program is different and may provide you with:

- Skills training or targeted academic training programs
- Preparation for a licence or certification examination
- Language training for your profession or trade
- Individual learning plans to identify any added training you may need
