Construction Techniques Info Session

Looking for a job? Why you should consider the trades!

The shortage of skilled tradespeople in Canada has been flagged by the building industry as cause for concern for more than a decade, but as time goes on – and current demographic trends continue – it may soon reach crisis proportions. Canada is looking at a shortage of one million tradespeople by 2020. The average age of a tradesperson in Canada reached 40 in 2007, four years older than it was in 1987. The average age of welders is 56. The average framers and finisher are also in their 50s.
