National Skills
Trades & Tech Week<\/h1>\n

What\u00a0<\/span><\/span>is<\/span><\/span>\u00a0National Skilled Trades & Technology Week (<\/em>NSTTW)<\/em>?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

NSTTW is a key date in the annual Skills\/<\/span><\/span>Comp\u00e9tences<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Canada (SCC)<\/em> calendar. The goal of this week-long event is to promote and host awareness raising events around the many career opportunities in skilled trades and technology in Canada. During NSTTW organizations from across Canada get involved with SCC in a \u201chands-on\u201d way to promote skilled trades and technology careers to youth, parents and the public.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is it happening<\/span><\/span>?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

It is clear that skilled\u00a0trade and technology careers are important for our economy and an excellent career path for many young Canadians. Yet many Canadians either do not know what trade careers look like or what they entail.<\/p>\n

This week of events and information is dedicated to raising awareness through insight into the career options available.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Skills\/<\/strong>Comp\u00e9tences<\/strong>\u00a0Canada\u2019s<\/strong> plan is to work with its member organizations and partners to facilitate and host skilled trades and technology activities in regions across Canada, to engage business and political leaders in discussions about the importance of these careers for our country, to focus media attention on these careers and to highlight those individuals that pursued these paths themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
