CSTEC in the Sault

Thank you, Sault College.

On Monday, January 9, 2012, Sault College, the Algoma Worforce Investment Committee and CSTEC hosted a LUNCH followed by a PRESENTATION of CSTEC's Steel Sector Study at the Grand Gardens, Sault Ste Marie.

Human Resources in the Canadian Steel Sector

In early 2010, the Canadian Steel Trade and Employment Congress, (CSTEC) commissioned the Toronto firm of PRISM Economics and Analysis to conduct research for a new Study.

The study focuses on the human resource issues and challenges facing the four sectors of the industry; basic steel making, the steel service centers, the steel fabricators, and the foundries.

HSTAC Benefits to Sponsoring an Apprentice

Progressive employers looking to leverage the know-how of skilled tradespeople understand the value of sponsoring an apprentice.

Experience film izle has shown that employers are more likely to get involved in apprenticeship if their first step is limited to offering work placements to a registered apprentice.

Sector Study Update

I am pleased to report that the "domestic" portion of the 2010 Canadian Sector Study has now entered its final stage.

The "draft" final report was discussed with the National Steering Committee via Teleconference on January 31st, 2011 and there was very positive feedback during the call by all participants.
