The campus, slated to open late summer 2025, offers pre‑apprentice programs in electrical, plumbing, HVAC and home renovation. Vaughan‑based CEO Ralph Cerasuolo heads the institution. Omni Offices sits on a 14.6‑acre parcel that Genting bought in 2011 for $236 million; the company originally aimed to build a casino but never secured a license.
