Silver Sponsor Skills Canada

The Construction News and Repot Group is a proud Silver sponsor of Skills Canada. We recognize the role Skills Canada will play in helping Canada meet the need for skilled labourers for the future success of the industry. We are proud to support Skills Canada.

About Skills Canada:

Skills/Compétences Canada (S/CC) is a national, not-for-profit organization that works with employers, educators, labour groups and governments to promote skilled trades and technology careers among Canadian youth. Our unique position among private and public sector partners enables us to work toward securing Canada’s future skilled labour needs while helping our youth to discover rewarding careers.

Our goals are:
To provide a unique, proven, effective and efficient program to raise awareness in the current and emerging skilled trades and technology careers, by bringing Canadian youth into a competitive spotlight.

To actively lead in developing dynamic partnerships with agencies & organizations involved in promoting current and emerging skilled trades and technologies by identifying and using best practices.

A lack of information regarding the opportunities in trades and technology currently prohibits many young Canadians from considering a career in skilled trades. Through provincial, national and international skills competitions, we help make these occupations more visible to teachers, students, parents and the general public. The competitions are an incredible display of hands-on expertise, talent and determination which showcases the many promising futures to be found in trades and technology.

At Skills/Compétences Canada we are dedicated to introducing Canada’s youth to the many opportunities, benefits and rewards of skilled and technological jobs. We believe that improving the expertise and confidence of the next generation pursuing technical careers will benefit us all.
