With approximately 6,000 construction workers expected to retire in the next 10 years, and the potential for thousands of new jobs created through new hydroelectric projects in Labrador, there is a great future for the next generation of local skilled tradespeople.
Government is making it easier for young or unemployed people to pursue careers in the skilled trades through apprenticeship. Yesterday, Immigration, Population Growth and Skills Minister Sarah Stoodley launched the “Make It Excellent” campaign. She says, “With a growing demand for skilled workers in this province, government is committed to providing the next generation with the tools, training, and support they need to succeed.” With approximately 6,000 construction workers expected to retire in the next 10 years, and the potential for thousands of new jobs created through new hydroelectric projects in Labrador, there is a great future for the next generation of local skilled tradespeople. Stoodley says the campaign will cost about $300,000 and they will be visiting schools. Apprenticeship programs are profiled in the campaign as opportunities for individuals to “earn while they learn,” gaining hands-on experience with talented mentors and journeypersons.
