The construction industry is facing a labour crisis and with no national โone stop shopโ available to connect Canadians to the skilled trades resources, Angela Coldwell, Jen Hancock and Tim Coldwell decided to create one.
โWhat 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?โย they asked. โWe knew that career choices are often imprinted in elementary aged children so we asked, โhow can we help showcase trade careers as the intellectually and physically stimulating STEAM jobs they are?
โWe set out to identify and remove barriers preventing people from pursuing an apprenticeship.โ
