MLITSD contacts in the QUILL Region

The Apprenticeship Advisors at Skilled Trades Ontario are excellent resources for information.  They play a key role in promoting and supporting apprenticeship pathways by engaging with potential apprentices, employers, and industry stakeholders. They are now the primary contact for apprenticeship questions (rather than MLITSD staff).  You can contact them at (current as of March 2025):
