What is National Skilled Trades and Technology Week (NSTTW)?<\/strong>
\nNSTTW is a key date in the annual Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences 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 \u201chands-on\u201d way to promote skilled trades and technology careers to youth, parents and the public.<\/p>\n

Why is it happening?<\/strong>
\nIt is clear that skilled trade and technology careers are important for our economy and an excellent career path for\u00a0many young Canadians. Yet many Canadians either do not know what trade careers look like or what they\u00a0entail. This week of events and information is dedicated to raise awareness through insight into the career options\u00a0available.<\/p>\n

Skills\/Comp\u00e9tences Canada\u2019s plan is to work with its member organizations and partners to facilitate and host skilled\u00a0trades and technology activities in regions across Canada, to engage business and political leaders in discussions\u00a0about the importance of these careers for our country, to focus media attention on these careers and to highlight\u00a0those individuals that pursued these paths themselves.<\/p>\n
