McGuinty government invests in positive change for new immigrants The McGuinty government announced on January 20, 2004 that it is expanding opportunities for internationally-trained professionals to practice in Ontario by investing more than $4 million over three years. The government is investing in a number of "bridge" training programs that will assist internationally-trained professionals in the fields of teaching, engineering and health care. The programs will help individuals develop skills and experience essential to practice in Ontario without duplicating what they have learned elsewhere. In addition, the government is working with the Colleges of Ontario Network for Education and Training, George Brown College, Centennial College and Fanshawe College to create CON*NECT, a project that will create a new framework for the college system to provide another choice for internationally- trained professionals and trades people to fast track their entry into the workplace.
