      History

      The Workplace Preparation Division was created in 1995 within the Ontario Training Adjustment Board (OTAB) when the Learning and Employment Preparation Branch ceased to exist.

      At the same time, Information and Management Services as well as Human Resources/Support Services were replaced by two units, Support Services and Information Systems; Transition/Help Centres became part of the Division, and a new unit was added, Job-Link/Common Assessment.

      In June 1996, OTAB was abolished. Components of OTAB were integrated into the new Training Division within the Ministry of Education and Training. As a result, the Workplace Preparation Division ceased to exist and its functions were assumed by the Workplace Preparation Branch within the Training Division of the Ministry of Education and Training.
