The Launch of a Canada-wide Initiative bridging the gap between Youth and The Trades

In Canada today, young people are employed across a wide range of skilled trades that offer promising career opportunities. These include construction-related trades like carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work; mechanical trades such as automotive service and heavy equipment operation; and industrial trades like welding and machining.

There is also growing demand in newer fields such as renewable energy and information technology-related trades. These careers offer hands-on learning, apprenticeships, and good earning potential, making them appealing options for youth looking for alternatives to traditional education.

This initiative combines music concerts with booths run by tradespeople who can answer questions about careers, schooling, and benefits. It will help those in trades promote their professions to Canadians looking for jobs now and in the future.
