TORONTO — The Canadian Institute of Plumbing & Heating (CIPH) has declared its support for the Canada Jobs Grant Program announced in the recent federal budget.

“Our 260+ members are in constant need of specific skills sets in trades, engineering, supply chain management, sales, and other support fields. A recent survey we conducted shows about 40 percent of our members will be hiring in the immediate future. These are great jobs, with good stability, very competitive salaries and room for growth,” said Ralph Suppa, president and general manager of CIPH.

“By engaging employers to provide direction and focus in employee education and training, the Canada Jobs Grant program will help guarantee our members benefit from a labour pool with the specialized skills they require. We applaud the federal government’s efforts to ensure Canadian employers will have the right person to do the job.”
