Partnerships and Sponsors

Partnering with employers, educators, labour groups and government, Skills Canada Manitoba has developed successful programs and initiatives and has a demonstrated record of meeting objectives and targeted outcomes. Since 1998 our programs have reached close to 10,000 youth. We believe that over the next five years Skills Canada Manitoba is well positioned to reach close to 30,000 youth.

Skills Canada Manitoba also owes a large part of its success to the passion and commitment of the hundreds and hundreds of volunteers; in-kind support from both industry and the education system. In-kind support has been the backbone of Skills Manitoba and one of the reasons we have been so successful.

Don't miss out on this great opportunity to showcase your support of youth and skilled trades and technology training.

In the next two decades, predictions are that 40% of new jobs will be in skilled trades and technology; however, many more people in skilled trades are retiring than are entering these fields. In Canada, the shortfall in skilled trades and technology has been estimated at no fewer than 50,000 by the year 2010.

Contributing industry and business leaders will establish relationships with the emerging generation of a skilled workforce, receive high visibility and excellent recruitment opportunities, and help to promote and change the way skilled trades and technology are perceived by youth and society.

Please join us in supporting a bright economic future for Manitoba. For further information about how your organization may support Manitoba youth and Skills Canada Manitoba, please contact Maria Pacella at 927-0250 or mariapa@skillscanada.com.
