  • National Skilled Trade and Technology Week 2026

    National Skilled Trade and Technology Week 2026 is November 1 to 7!

    What is National Skilled Trades and Technology Week (NSTTW)? NSTTW is a key date in the annual Skills/Compétences Canada (SCC) calendar. The goal of this week-long event is to promote and host awareness raising events around the many career opportunities in skilled trades and technologies in Canada. During NSTTW organizations from across Canada get involved with SCC in a “hands-on” way to promote skilled trade and technology careers to youth, parents and the public.

    Why is it happening? It is clear that skilled trade and technology careers are important for our economy and an excellent career path for many young Canadians. Yet many Canadians either do not know what these careers look like or what they entail. This week of events and information is dedicated to raising awareness through insight into the career options that are available.

    Skills/Compétences Canada’s (SCC) plan is to work with its Member Organizations and partners to facilitate and host skilled trade and technology activities across Canada. In addition, SCC will engage business and political leaders in discussions about the importance of these careers for our country, focus media attention on these careers and highlight those individuals that pursued these paths themselves.

    Goals

    Get Canada’s youth thinking about skilled trade and technology careers as a viable, interesting option. Get Canada’s youth to engage in projects/experiences involving skilled trades and technologies, fostering conversations between industries, teachers and students. Engage with industry thought leaders and political decision makers creating a dialogue focused on the importance of encouraging uptake in skilled trade and technology careers to ensure that Canada remains at the forefront of competitive advantage in global economies.
