And C2R2 is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaching the challenge with the earth in mind.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBy working together, colleges can help lead the transition to a clean economy. With a vision to build back better from the COVID-19 crisis, colleges are positioned to quickly develop thousands of training and research opportunities to help Canadians access good jobs, support the transition to the low-carbon economy, and foster inclusion, diversity, and equity,\u201d reads the coalition\u2019s website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_next_for_C2R2\"><\/span>What\u2019s next for C2R2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick Train Canada is part of a multi-pronged approach by C2R2 that also includes driving business and industry innovation through applied research opportunities. This involves helping industry partners develop, test and improve technologies that will be vital to helping Canada meet its 2030 carbon-reduction targets. C2R2 is also focused on ensuring that Canadians have opportunities to gain meaningful work experience in the low-carbon economy. To this end, the coalition is working with industry partners from diverse sectors to support paid internships, work placements and employer incentives so that workers can access good jobs and contribute to innovations in vital areas such as renewable energy, green construction, water conservation, electric vehicles, carbon sequestration and forest stewardship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One such initiative is Resilient Housing and Upskilling for Canada\u2019s Communities, which will support workforce development in Indigenous and rural communities across Canada. With the federal government providing $3,036,000 in funding through its Community Workforce Development Program, six C2R2 institutions are consulting with Indigenous communities to identify and co-develop building solutions, and train Indigenous workers in the trades and sustainable building. The project is expected to benefit 204 workers in up to 20 communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This national housing project aligns with C2R2\u2019s key priority to incorporate equity, diversity and inclusion across all of its activities. The coalition is dedicated to enhancing access and opportunities for learners and workers from under-represented groups, and mitigating barriers, that could hamper their success, such as child care, housing and tuition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe members of C2R2 share a commitment to removing barriers and applying a national approach so that we can respond to match the needs of a quickly changing economy,\u201d says Paul Armstrong, chief operating officer at Mohawk College and co-chair of the C2R2 steering group. \u201cBy 14 institutions acting as one, in concert with industry, we have the power to make a large impact.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
