Get Involved in National Skilled Trades and Technology Week, November 3-9

Skills Canada invites individuals and organizations to help raise awareness of skilled trades and technology careers among parents, youth and the general public by participating in and promoting National Skilled Trade & Technology Week. “This is an opportunity for organizations across Canada to get involved in a hands-on way to promote these careers to youth,” says Skills Canada.

The week of events and information is intended to provide young Canadians with a peek into what career options are available. Many young Canadians do not know what trade careers look like or what they entail.

By facilitating and hosting skilled trade and technical activities across Canada, Skills Canada plans to engage business and political leaders in discussions about the importance of these careers to our country and to focus media attention on them. The long-term goal is to create an annual week of celebration of skilled trade and technical careers and to highlight those who pursue these paths for themselves.
