SKILLED TRADE AND TECHNOLOGY WEEK
During Skilled Trade and Technology Week, Skills/Compétences Canada members across the country host and promote events which raise awareness for careers in the fields of skilled trades and technologies. In Newfoundland and Labrador, a partners' luncheon allows champions of the Skills Movement to celebrate the valuable opportunities in these sectors. One of the week's major focuses is the promotion of skilled trades and technologies in K-12 classrooms. To assist teachers in encouraging students to consider careers in these sectors, Skills/Compétences Canada offers a Teacher's Manual of in-class activities which present snapshots of the work done every day by skilled trades-people and technolgists.
