Ontario. Industrial Training Branch (1975-1979)

• Industrial Training Branch

The Industrial Training Branch was created when the College Affairs and Manpower Training Division of the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities was re-organized in 1975. (Note that an earlier Industrial Training Branch existed between 1965 and 1973). It was then comprised of the Ontario Career Action Program, Training Services, Administration and Enforcement Services, and Administration. The Industrial Training Council was created in 1976 and became part of the Branch. The Branch was re-organized in early 1979 into six sections: the Industrial Training Council, the Ontario Career Action Program, Operations, Enforcement Services and Special Assignments, Data Base Administration, and Advisory Secretariat. The Industrial Training Branch ceased to exist later in 1979, and its responsibilities were divided between the new Apprenticeship Branch and Manpower Training Branch.

The Industrial Training Branch administered the Apprenticeship Act (later the Apprenticeship and Tradesmen's Qualification Act), and trades certification. It was also responsible for administering apprenticeship examinations, competency assessments, training standards development, materials for apprenticeship and Ontario Modular Training programs, and for field and client services operations. It was also responsible for the delivery of skills training programs.
