According to a recent study published by Buildforce Canada, by the year 2026, an estimated 248,000 construction workers will retire. The industry is expected to draw approximately 94,000 new entrants, which will only partially offset expected retirements leaving the workforce, resulting in a shortage of skilled trade workers. There will continue to be a strong demand for skilled workers in Canada and SCNC is the ideal venue to showcase these skilled careers.
“The Skills Canada National Competition features the Skills for Success that are required for Canada’s future skilled workforce to thrive in the skilled trades and technologies. Through our partnership with TC Energy we profile diverse careers to youth and highlight how essential they are for our country’s economy, as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, and well into the future,” says Shaun Thorson, Chief Executive Officer of Skills/Compétences Canada.
