UA Canada\u2019s continued partnership with Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences Canada shows commitment to helping youth in the skilled trades and technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n

OTTAWA, Ontario, April 8, 2025 <\/strong>– Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences Canada (SCC), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to encouraging young people and their communities to pursue careers in skilled trades and technologies, is excited to announce that United Association (UA) Canada, an international union for pipe trades professionals, has signed on as Presenting Sponsor of SCNC 2025, in Regina. Their generous contribution will enable SCC to inform Canadian youth about the various career opportunities that exist in skilled trades and technologies.<\/p>\n

“We are proud to partner with UA Canada again this year. Their commitment to increasing awareness about career opportunities will ensure that Canada\u2019s future skilled workforce will thrive,\u201d said Shaun Thorson, Chief Executive Officer, Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences\u00a0Canada.<\/p>\n

SCNC will take place on May 29 and 30, 2025, at the Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) District, in Regina, Saskatchewan. The event will host labour groups, industry partners, government officials, educators, and youth who will come together to watch and support over 500 students competing in more than 40 Skill Areas. This year\u2019s competition is set to be even more exciting for competitors, as it is a qualifying year to earn a spot on WorldSkills Team Canada and participate at WorldSkills Shanghai 2026. Eligible medalists will have the opportunity to represent Canada at the prestigious WorldSkills Competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cUA Canada is proud to continue as a Presenting Sponsor of the Skills Canada National Competition. By supporting SCNC, we empower young individuals to stay informed, build confidence, and seize future opportunities in skilled trades and technologies,\u201d said Mike Gordon, Director of Canadian Training, UA Canada.<\/p>\n

UA Canada will be onsite at the Skills Canada National Competition 2025, in Regina, to support the competitors. They will host a booth where they will engage with student visitors and the public. UA Canada will also participate in SCC\u2019s Live Stream broadcast and present competitors with medals at the Closing Ceremony.<\/p>\n

Skilled trades and technologies are the backbone of Canada\u2019s economy, but with an aging workforce, the demand for skilled trade workers is higher than ever. According to BuildForce Canada, the construction industry alone will need to hire over 300,000 workers by 2030 to meet the demand. SCNC helps promote skilled careers and creates possibilities for our country\u2019s future skilled workforce.<\/p>\n
