Careers in Trades Website: New Design and Resources

Careers

Nov 18, 2018

A joint initiative with Skills/Compétences Canada, the redesigned careersintrades.ca website includes a new Trades Explorer tool, a Talk to a Trade video series developed through interviews filmed at the 2018 National Apprenticeship Conference, and a selection of successful apprenticeship stories.

This career awareness resource provides information on apprenticeship and skilled trades career options for youth, parents, educators, and other career-influencers. 

The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum – Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) is a national, not-for-profit organization working with stakeholders in all regions of Canada. It influences pan-Canadian apprenticeship strategies through research, discussion and collaboration — sharing insights across trades, across sectors and across the country — to promote apprenticeship as an effective model for training and education. The Board of Directors comprises representatives of business, labour, the jurisdictional apprenticeship authorities, education and equity-seeking groups.

Skills/Compétences Canada was founded in 1989 as a national, not-for-profit organization with partner Skills Canada organizations in each of the provinces/territories that work with employers, educators, labour groups and governments to promote skilled trades and technology careers among Canadian youth.
