Our Trades Careers program delivers hands-on learning experiences in various skilled trades. With the help of our partners, we hold training at off-campus locations in world-class facilities. Taught by instructors in the construction and culinary trades, this program empowers youth to enter the apprenticeship stream while earning high-school credits, apprenticeship hours and safety certifications. Our students are filling a gap in the shortage facing the skilled trades, while being introduced to an in-demand career opportunity with a focus on safety, problem solving, and technical development.
The program was designed to remove barriers into the industry, and bring opportunities to Indigenous First Nations high school students and young adults. Offered on nation, and off nation in safe and inclusive training environments, participants learn practical skills that open doors to career paths in skilled trades.
This fully-funded program allows participants to earn apprenticeship hours and safety certifications.
Explore trade opportunities that align with your individual strengths and uncover your unique talents and passions as a step toward building a rewarding career!
‘Reading… Give it a Shot’, our longest running program, provides reading motivation for youth from first to sixth grade. Participants earn collector cards for logging reading minutes from editions such as Canadian Wildlife, Species at Risk, and Calgary Flames. Our cards provide youth with the incentive to develop their literacy skills! Books for Kids strengthens our literacy program by adding the donation of books to select schools in Alberta. With the addition of this program, we have increased our impact on literacy levels by providing children with all the tools they need to elevate their literacy skills and discover the joy of reading.
