A major investment in Canada’s clean energy future — and in the skilled workforce that will build it.

Nearly $70 billion in clean energy projects are expected to support **23,000 construction jobs** while significantly expanding Canada’s renewable electricity capacity. Investments of this scale highlight the growing importance of a highly skilled, well-trained electrical workforce as Canada builds the infrastructure of tomorrow.
