The Province is helping more Nova Scotians explore and connect to careers in skilled trades through a $10-million investment in the construction industry.
The investment will support more skilled trades training through three key initiatives:
- Creating the Cape Breton Trades Exhibition Centre – an industry-led hands-on exploration and learning facility for youth, community groups and apprentices
- Expanding enhanced direct-entry apprenticeship programs – faster, more accessible pathways into the skilled trades
- Supporting career transitions – programs for underemployed people, veterans and new Canadians to enhance and gain skills to be ready for careers in the skilled trades.
