Welders. Electricians. Crane operators. We need more skilled trades workers to help deliver on our plan to double Canada’s electricity grid by 2050.

That's why we launched Team Canada Strong — to help recruit, train, and hire up to 100,000 Red Seal skilled trades workers in the next five years to get the job done.

Des soudeurs. Des électriciens. Des conducteurs de grues. Nous avons besoin de plus de travailleurs de métiers pour réaliser notre plan visant à doubler la capacité du réseau électrique du Canada d’ici 2050.

C’est pourquoi nous avons lancé Une Équipe Canada forte : pour recruter, former et embaucher jusqu’à 100 000 travailleurs de métiers désignés Sceau rouge au cours des cinq prochaines années afin qu’ils nous aident à atteindre cet objectif.
