Skills Canada - Ontario 2012

The 2012 Skills Canada - Ontario skills competition was a resounding success with thousands of students from across the province contributing displays of world-class skill. From brick-laying to welding, students competed and tested their metal against peers while thousands looked on. CSTEC provided information on occupations in the steel industry and challenged students with their own version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with steel industry-related questions.

Glendale Secondary School Career Fair

The Glendale Secondary School Career Fair was an opportunity to expose 1000 students from grade 9 through 12 to various occupations and organizations in the Hamilton community. Over 30 career / volunteer information tables offered an opportunity for young people to explore and discover what Hamilton has to offer.  These events create student awareness as well as recruit a future workforce.

Mohawk College Openhouse

The Mohawk College Openhouse is an annual spring event open to the public to showcase the College’s four campuses, its programs and labs. It is a great opportunity for parents with teenagers in tow to discuss their options, visit the classrooms to see the hands-on equipment and talk with both instructors and current students.

Skilled Trade Shortage

Directly addressing the skilled trade shortage in Canada is a priority for the Canadian Steel Trade and Employment Congress. The Hamilton Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship Consortium recently registered another 42 apprentices at Mohawk College in Hamilton. This brings the total number of registered apprentices for 2012 to 118.
