Honour the Work: Inspiring skilled trades careers

Ontario Construction News staff writer

The construction industry is facing a labour crisis and with no national โ€œone stop shopโ€ available to connect Canadians to the skilled trades resources, Angela Coldwell, Jen Hancock and Tim Coldwell decided to create one.

โ€œWhat if we could create a hub so that Canadians have a single spot to begin learning of the opportunities and careers in the skilled trades?โ€ย  they asked. โ€œWe knew that career choices are often imprinted in elementary aged children so we asked, โ€œhow can we help showcase trade careers as the intellectually and physically stimulating STEAM jobs they are?

โ€œWe set out to identify and remove barriers preventing people from pursuing an apprenticeship.โ€
