Ehrlo Community Economic Development
Ehrlo community economic development consists of:
- Avant-Garde College – offers comprehensive training in the area of cosmetology, esthetics and nail technician throughout the year. Each year the college makes available a full bursary, covering the cost of the tuition and kit to one student from each of the cosmetology and esthetics program. The target group is young people who otherwise would not have access to post secondary training.
- Pre-trades Construction Project – prepares youth for entry-level employment in construction. Youth participants have an interest in a career in the construction industry but lack experience, education, training and employability skills to secure or maintain employment in the sector.Using a combination of classroom, workshop and on-the-job training experiences, project staff implement a combination of career development, employability, and skill development activities. Youth in this project can expect to secure employment in the construction sector at the end of the project. Participants will also have the opportunity to indenture as an apprentice carpenter and work toward their Level 1 Apprenticeship Training.
