National Skilled Trades and Technology Week<\/h1>\n

SCC wraps up another impactful National Skilled Trades and Technology Week!<\/strong>
\nSkills\/Comp\u00e9tences Canada (SCC) would like to thank everyone that participated at the Official Launch of the 14th National Skilled Trades and Technology Week (NSTTW), held on November 6 at the Halifax Convention Centre. This year\u2019s launch was a success with a record-breaking attendance that included industry and education partners, provincial government representatives and industry celebrity Sherry Holmes from HGTV\u2019s Holmes Inspection, Holmes Makes it Right and Holmes Next Generation. These special guests were there to encourage Canada\u2019s youth to consider skilled trade and technology careers as first choice options.<\/p>\n

We would like to thank all of our partners who hosted over 30 Try-A-Trade\u00ae and Technology activities. At the NSTTW 2018 Launch, over 500 middle school and high school students and their teachers from the Halifax region attended this flagship event. They tried the wide variety of interactive activities which give them a glimpse into the exciting skilled trade and technology career opportunities available to them. Thank you to our official launch partner the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency for their involvement and support. SCC also took the opportunity to announce that the 25th Skills Canada National Competition will be taking place at the Halifax Exhibition Centre May 28 \u2013 29. We hope you will join us in #creatingpossibilities for Canadian youth at SCNC Halifax 2019!<\/p>\n

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

Goals
\n<\/strong>Get Canada\u2019s youth thinking about skilled trade and technology careers as a viable, interesting option.
\nGet Canada\u2019s youth to engage in projects\/experiences involving skilled trades and technology, fostering conversations\u00a0between industries, teachers and students.
\nTo engage with industry thought leaders and political decision makers creating a dialogue focused on the importance\u00a0of encouraging uptake in skilled trades and technology careers to ensure that Canada remains at the forefront\u00a0of competitive advantage in global economies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
