Great news for the skilled trades!

Skilled trades are set to see transformative investment through the Government of Canada's Spring Economic Update. Team Canada Strong - a new nationwide program to recruit, train, and hire up to 100,000 skilled trades workers by 2030, will increase union-led training capacity and infrastructure while also putting real financial supports in the hands of our apprentices and workers.

Central measures supporting training and apprenticeships include:

🧱 $225M toward union training centre upgrades & expansions
📝 $400/week grant to apprentices while attending mandatory technical training, over & above EI
🦺 $5000 bonus to apprentices who achieve Red Seal certification

Ready, set, build. 🛠️

Proud to sponsor and see some of our members in the room in Halifax on April 22 - taking part in the discussions and carving out space for women in skilled trades. Wishing all of our sisters a great experience at the Sydney event today. 🫶

Way to go, Cynthia! She’s a Red Seal Journeyperson with Heat & Frost Insulators Local 116, an active member of her union’s Executive Committee, and proud Build TogetHER Nova Scotia member… and she’s out there doing her thing at DND insulating Canada’s navy ships. 👍👷‍♀️👏
