History
The Workplace Support Services Division of the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board (OTAB) was created in 1995. It was comprised of the former Apprenticeship and Client Services and Partnership and Service Development branches. When OTAB was integrated into the Ministry of Education and Training in 1996, the Workplace Support Services Division became a branch within the Training Division, Ministry of Education and Training.
In 1999, there was a reorganization of the education and training functions, and the Workplace Support Services Branch, Apprenticeship and Client Services, was shifted to the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. It remained in that Ministry until 2003, when it was renamed the Workplace Training Branch with the same units and functions.
The Workplace Training Branch continued until approximately 2008, when it was dissolved and its functions decentralized under the new Employment and Skills Training Division.
