The Ontario College of Trades has released its fee structure for membership.
Annually, those in the apprentice, tradesperson and journeyperson classes will pay $60. Journeypersons will pay $120, as will employers and sponsors for optional membership applications.
The Ontario College of Trades, set for launch in the spring of 2013, is a governing body that purports to provide professional recognition for skilled workers.
“In 2013, skilled trades professionals will have the responsibility of governing and regulating their industry, just as nurses, teachers and doctors do now,” said Ron Johnson, chair of the college’s board of governors, in a news release. “This move from a government-run to an industry-driven skilled trades system will benefit consumers and Ontario’s economy.”
