TORONTO — This week is National Skilled Trade and Technology Week (NSTTW), an annual celebration created by Skills Canada that aims to promote and host awareness raising events around the many career opportunities in the skilled trades and technologies in Canada.

Over the week, Skills Ontario will be hosting a social media celebration recognizing the five sectors of the skilled trades and technologies: construction, industrial, motive power, service and technology. Skills Ontario will also launch new career profile videos of skilled professionals discussing their career paths and their advice to Ontario youth, indicates a release.
