Access to Industrial Manufacturing (AIM)
Government-backed funding designed to support innovative training projects and upskill workers in high-demand sectors.
Start Building a Career in Industrial Manufacturing
Under 30 and interested in a career in manufacturing or the industrial trades? CSTEC’s federally funded Access to Industrial Manufacturing (AIM) program helps young people access the training they need to move toward employment in Ontario’s industrial economy.
What Could You Train For?
Depending on your interests, aptitude and the employment opportunities available, training may lead toward areas such as:
- CNC and machining
- Machine operation
- Welding
- Mechanical and industrial maintenance
- Industrial trades
- Other technical manufacturing occupations
The goal is to connect training with occupations where employers are actually looking for workers.
Who Is AIM For?
AIM is for youth under the age of 30 who are interested in building a career in industrial manufacturing.
You do not necessarily need previous manufacturing experience. What matters is finding a pathway that fits your interests, abilities and career goals.
CSTEC can help you understand those different options, identify appropriate training and connect the training to a realistic employment pathway.
