Article Description| The Conference Board of Canada estimates a shortage of one million workers in the high paying trades and related occupations within 20 years. As a result, employers are looking towards Alberta's Apprenticeship and Industry Training System and its Women Building Futures program to solve long-term staffing solutions. Industries relying on apprentices include construction and transportation with such short-staffed trades as rig technicians, ironworkers, plumbers, and heavy equipment technicians. The industry-driven program is designed to meet the evolving requirements of each designated trade, and maintain high industry standards. |
