Skills Canada Overview
Skills/Compétences Canada (S/CC) is a national, not-for-profit organization
that works with employers, educators, labour groups and governments to promote skilled
trades and technology careers among Canadian youth. Our unique position among private
and public sector partners enables us to work toward securing Canada’s future skilled
labour needs while helping our youth to discover rewarding careers.
Our goals are:
- To provide a unique, proven, effective and efficient program to raise awareness
in the current and emerging skilled trades and technology careers, by bringing Canadian
youth into a competitive spotlight.
- To actively lead in developing dynamic partnerships with agencies & organizations
involved in promoting current and emerging skilled trades and technologies by identifying
and using best practices.
A lack of information regarding the opportunities in trades and technology currently
prohibits many young Canadians from considering a career in skilled trades. Through
provincial, national and international skills competitions, we help make these occupations
more visible to teachers, students, parents and the general public. The competitions
are an incredible display of hands-on expertise, talent and determination which
showcases the many promising futures to be found in trades and technology.
At Skills/Compétences Canada we are dedicated to introducing Canada’s youth to the
many opportunities, benefits and rewards of skilled and technological jobs. We believe
that improving the expertise and confidence of the next generation pursuing technical
careers will benefit us all.
