Data collected will help address future skilled trades shortages and ensure a stable and skilled workforce for the construction industry.
Trades NL is getting over $135K from the provincial government to develop a comprehensive understanding of the current environment of the skilled trades in the construction industry. Funding will be used to initiate a labour market assessment project beginning with developing and distributing a targeted industry survey to understand the current membership, workforce availability, and barriers to entry in all construction sectors. The survey will also seek feedback on strategies on retention of skilled tradespeople. Data collected will help address future skilled trades shortages and ensure a stable and skilled workforce for the construction industry.
