The Trades
Description
There are 50 designated trades in Alberta from Gasfitters and Plumbers to Heavy Equipment Operators, Welders, Cooks and Hairstylists; there truly is a job for everyone within the trades. To enter a trade you must start an apprenticeship. This will see you complete 80% of your apprenticeship on-the-job training and 20% technical training at a post-secondary institution. With The Conference Board of Canada estimating that there will be a skills shortage of one million tradespeople in the next 20 years, this really is an excellent time to enter a trade.
