Ontario Advances Shipbuilding Training Partnership

Ontario has formalized a strategic memorandum of understanding with Hanwha Ocean and signed a letter of intent with Mohawk College to establish a structured, embedded training partnership aimed at rebuilding large-scale shipbuilding capacity in the province. This collaboration involves industry, education, and multiple levels of government working together to create opportunities, strengthen the workforce, and advance shipbuilding in Ontario. The partnership focuses on equipping the next generation with necessary skills, supporting local jobs, and laying the foundation for the future of shipbuilding in the region. Key stakeholders include the City of Hamilton, Government of Canada, Ontario Government, Hanwha Canada, and educational institutions. This initiative marks a significant step toward revitalizing Ontario's marine industry and skilled trades sector.
