Carpentry is a highly sought-after trade in Ontario, with a consistent demand for skilled workers in construction and renovation. As the construction industry continues to expand, the need for carpenters rises, creating ample job opportunities and promising pathways for career growth.
The Canadian government’s Department of Employment and Social Development (EDSC) estimates that employment gains in the construction sector will be strong in the Greater Toronto Area due to labour demands resulting from expansions and retirements.
Build Force Canada estimates that those retiring from the sector will create the largest demand for new skilled carpenters, construction trades helpers and labourers, and contractors and supervisors.
Carpentry is a foundational trade in Ontario’s construction industry, providing a wide range of career opportunities in residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Carpenters are vital to building, renovating, and maintaining structures, making this a fulfilling and highly sought-after career choice.
