Skilled Trades Are In Demand

Did you know that skilled trades are one of the most in-demand sectors for finding a high-paying, stable career?

In the next 20 years, more than 40% of all new jobs will be in the skilled trades and technology. As the baby boomer generation retires, including highly qualified tradespeople, industries are facing a critical skilled labour shortage. Now is the time to seize these opportunities!

According to the Canadian Occupational Projections System, the demand for welders is soaring. Canada is projected to experience a labour shortage of welders between 2022 and 2031, with 17,700 new job openings expected nationwide.
