解决劳动力不足！安省政府帮助更多人进入高薪就业岗位！

安省正在面临非常严重的劳动力短缺，每天有近30万个空缺就业岗位无法被填满，导致该省损失数十亿的生产力。因此，安省政府正在通过培训不同领域的工人和升级工人培训中心的方式来解决劳动力不足的问题。

在新建和升级培训中心方面，省府投入$2.24亿。这笔资金将会帮助工会、原住民中心以及行业协会新建培训中心，将现有设施升级改造成拥有最先进设备和技术的培训中心。

安省省长福特表示：“这项新计划将会帮助促进安省培训中心的基础设施，为更多的人提供学习新技能的机会并且推动他们的职业生涯进入高薪和有需求的岗位中。我们正在采取必要的措施，创造出一个更大的人才输送管道，确保我们持续不断地拥有最好的劳动力，从而可以吸引来自世界各地的投资并建设安省。”

新建和升级培训中心的资金将通过SDF Capital Stream发放，SDF Capital Stream的申请期将从6月30日开始，截止日期到2023年9月25日。感兴趣的可以登录安省政府官网获取更多信息。

此外，省府投入超过$1900万，为锅炉工人、电工、长期护理院的护工提供免费的培训项目。这些免费的培训项目将会专注于培养学员的专业技能和针对他们工作领域的重要技能。

其中，省府投入的$1900万当中有$1650万是用来培训600名长期护理院的护工，作为省府承诺到2025年确保长期护理院居民每天平均获得4小时的直接护理的一部分，让安省的老年人不仅现在和将来都能够获得有品质的生活护理。

安省劳工厅长Monte McNaughton表示：“我们政府将继续投资在有突破性的培训项目，帮助人们获得他们所需的技能，以促进他们的职业发展和建设安省。”
