BOLT was launched by Tridel in 2009 and was established as a charitable foundation on January 1st, 2013. It started as a simple concept – to provide awareness and learning opportunities for youth associated with The Children’s Aid Society of Toronto to the field of construction. By establishing additional community, government and industry partnerships, BOLT has since expanded to reach an even broader range of youth.

BOLT goes ‘beyond the classroom’ to help connect under-resourced youth to meaningful and rewarding employment in the industry. To date, BOLT has awarded more than 540 scholarships to post-secondary students and helped more than 250 youth start their apprenticeships in the construction skilled trades.
