Skilled trades and technologies will be on display throughout Saskatchewan from November 4-10.

The seven days have been declared Skilled Trades and Technologies Week in Saskatchewan, in celebration with the rest of the country.

Careers in skilled trades and technologies provide many opportunities for Saskatchewan youth.  This week provides a look into the rewarding career options available.

“Skilled Trades and Technologies Week plays an important role in highlighting the opportunities for careers in the designated trades and subtrades,” Economy Minister Bill Boyd said.  “It will also celebrate the services provided by skilled tradespeople in Saskatchewan.”

The week begins with a launch event on Monday, November 4 at 1:30 pm at Campus Regina Public/Cochrane High School.  The event will highlight the upcoming activities throughout the week, and the importance of skilled trades and technologies.

Many organizations throughout Saskatchewan will take part in the week. Teachers are encouraged to invite guests into their classrooms to provide youth more information on careers in the skilled trades.  Guests could be journeypersons, apprentices, business owners, government representatives, or staff from Skills Canada Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Construction Association, SIIT, or the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission.
