Support Ontario Youth is dedicated to improving equality, equal opportunities, and increased participation for underrepresented groups in the skilled trades.
“Ongoing support and mentorship are essential factors to ensure the success and retention of women in the skilled trades. I was lucky to have the support of a fellow female, and I owe my success to that relationship. SOY is removing barriers and providing resources to help make the journey into the skilled trades successful for everyone.”
- Brandi Ferenc, SOY Mentor
We strongly believe that providing a range of resources and support can significantly improve an apprentice's advancement and retention, helping ensure they complete their journey to becoming a qualified journeyperson.
