Canada’s largest skilled trades and technology conference, the Skills Ontario Competition, will be held May 5 and 6 at the Toronto Congress Centre.
Started in 1989, the Skills Ontario Competition offers a unique opportunity for top students to demonstrate that they are the best of the best in their skilled trade or technology field.
“We look forward to welcoming students from across Ontario to compete in the Skills Ontario Competition to showcase their skills, knowledge and passion for their craft,” said Ian Howcroft, CEO of Skills Ontario. “The young people participating in this event are the future skilled trade and technology leaders of Ontario, and our staff wish everyone competing the best of luck and to have fun.”
In addition to observing the contests, spectators can also explore the Career Exploration Showcase which features over 75 employers, labour unions, and colleges. A number of pre-registered conferences will also be running during the Skills Ontario Competition.
Competitors who win gold and meet the eligibility criteria at the Skills Canada National Competition (SCNC) 2025 will earn the opportunity to represent Canada at the WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai, China in 2026.
