SUMMARY:National Skilled Trade and Technology Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:What is National Skilled Trades and Technology Week (NSTTW)?\nNSTTW 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 technology in Canada. During NSTTW organizations from across Canada get involved with SCC in a “hands-on” way to promote skilled trades and technology careers to youth\, parents and the public. \nWhy is it happening?\nIt 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 trade careers look like or what they entail. This week of events and information is dedicated to raise awareness through insight into the career options available. \nSkills/Compétences Canada’s plan is to work with its member organizations and partners to facilitate and host skilled trades and technology activities in regions across Canada\, to engage business and political leaders in discussions about the importance of these careers for our country\, to focus media attention on these careers and to highlight those individuals that pursued these paths themselves. \nGoals \n\nGet Canada’s youth thinking about skilled trade and technology careers as a viable\, interesting option.\nGet Canada’s youth to engage in projects/experiences involving skilled trades and technology\, fostering conversations between industries\, teachers and students.\nTo engage with industry thought leaders and political decision makers creating a dialogue focused on the importance of encouraging uptake in skilled trades and technology careers to ensure that Canada remains at the forefront of competitive advantage in global economies.
