      History

      In June 1996, the Ontario Training Adjustment Board (OTAB) was abolished. As a result, the Workplace Preparation Branch was created within the new Training Division of the Ministry of Education and Training.

      In 1999, the Ministry of Education and Training was divided into the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. As a result, the Workplace Preparation Branch of the Ministry of Education and Training ceased to exist and its functions were assumed by the Workplace Preparation Branch within the Training Division of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
