Start a Career in the Horse Industry!

Special Partnership for Online Industry Training: Ontario Equine Education and Employment Program (OEEEP):

This FREE program offers you a chance to become a part of Ontario’s billion-dollar horse industry. Learn more about the care and welfare of horses and gain valuable industry experience in this interactive training course.

▪ Funded by the Ontario Government, Equine Guelph joined with the Ontario Harness Horse Association and VPI, Inc. to offer OEEEP. This program helps to answer the need for staff, a current issue in the Ontario industry.

▪ The first offering commenced in November, 2021. Students receive training in job preparedness and job interview skills from VPI for 2 weeks, followed by 6 weeks of online learning from Equine Guelph and finally a placement program, matching potential employers with new students.

• 6-week virtual training course.
• Learn from industry experts.
• Discover different career paths.
• Job placement at the end of your program.

This is a great opportunity for anyone with a passion for animals and hands-on learning. No previous experience with horse handling required.
