OCOT Names New Registrar

Don Gosen, chair of the Board of Governors of the Ontario College of Trades (College)—professional regulatory body that regulates and promotes Ontario’s 156 trades in the public interest—today announced the appointment of George Gritziotis as Registrar and CEO, effective October 16, 2017.

Gritziotis replaces outgoing College Registrar and CEO David Tsubouchi, who had announced his decision to retire this past June.

“With George’s extensive industry and government experience he’s a natural fit to lead the College,” says Gosen, the newly elected chair of the Board.

Gritziotis has experience working in labour management partnerships in the construction, industrial, and services sectors on human resource development issues. He’s also managed a number of national industry groups and projects on issues ranging from apprenticeship and training to labour market information.
