Released on June 4, 2012
The Government of Saskatchewan has designated June 3 to 9 as Skilled Trades Week in Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC) is proud to provide training in response to the growing needs of Saskatchewan industry and, in turn, help stimulate additional growth in the labour force and economy.
Highlighting Skilled Trades Week is the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (CAF) Conference, which will be held in Regina for the first time from June 3 to 5, followed by meetings of the Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA).
"The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to proclaim Skilled Trades Week in Saskatchewan," Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. "Saskatchewan will need 75,000-90,000 skilled workers over the next five to 10 years to meet the needs of our growing economy. The apprenticeship process is an important part of our solution to the shortage."
Saskatchewan trades people work in one of 47 designated trades and 23 subtrades. As of June 30, 2011, there were 9,442 registered apprentices in Saskatchewan, who are earning while they work toward a certified journeyperson status. Growing industries provide first-choice options in stable, rewarding careers.
"The men and women who work in the skilled trades build and maintain the infrastructure that allows Saskatchewan to grow and prosper," SATCC Board of Directors Chair Garry Kot said. "Young people in Saskatchewan are sometimes unaware of the great, well paying careers in the skilled trades. Skilled Trades Week is a reminder to the entire population that the homes they live in, the vehicles they drive, the electricity and the plumbing they depend on, the service they receive in restaurants and hotels, and the equipment used in mines and agriculture are all connected in one way or another with skilled trades people."
The SATCC manages and regulates the Apprenticeship and Trade Certification system in Saskatchewan. With an industry-led governance structure, the SATCC ensures program and training services are timely and effective, while new and existing programs are helping to retain youth and the aboriginal population.
