What Is Skills Ontario and the Skills Ontario Competition?
Skills Ontario is a not-for-profit organization that empowers young people in discovering, pursuing, and excelling in careers within skilled trades and technologies, like Aesthetics.
Annually, Skills Ontario hosts the Skills Ontario Competition - Canada's largest skilled trades competition. Each year, over 2400 students compete in 70 areas, including Aesthetics, Carpentry, Culinary Arts, Photography, Plumbing and more. The event also includes a Career Exploration Showcase, where attendees can meet with industry representatives (like us!) to learn about training and job opportunities.
This year's Aesthetics Contest, May 6-8 at the Toronto Congress Centre, showcases competitors excelling in safe, competent, and professional aesthetics treatments. Winners are awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze medals, and the chance to compete at the Skills Canada National Competition, potentially advancing to a WorldSkills Competition.
