  • National Skilled Trades and Technology Week 2016

    Red River College NOTRE DAME CAMPUS, 2055 NOTRE DAME AVENUE, Winnipeg, MB, Canada

    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 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.

    Why is it happening? It is clear that skilled trades 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 careers in trades look like or what they entail. This week of events and information is dedicated to raise awareness through insight into the career options available.

    Skills/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.

    Goals:

    Get Canada’s youth thinking about skilled trades and technology careers as a viable, interesting option. Get Canada’s youth to engage in projects/ experiences involving skilled trades and technology fostering conversations between industries, teachers and students. To 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.

    Who should I contact to obtain more information on what is happening in my region? Contact your Skills/Compétences Canada Provincial/Territorial office.
