Great to have Rob Calver from the BTA at Skills Canada’s National Skilled Trade and Technology Week event at SAIT last week with Neil Clark (@IBEWLU424) and @TEPFoundationAB. This was a great event to connect with over 800 students exploring careers in the skilled trades.

What a great opportunity to connect on initiatives shaping the next generation of our skilled trades workforce and industry in Alberta.

The BTA thanks @JZerucelli for his continued support and partnership with Alberta's Building Trades Unions.

The people who train, hire and build know what works on the ground.

That is why, this week in Ottawa, I sat down with BTA Executive Director Terry Parker, IBEW Local 424 Union Business Manager Mike Reinhart, Connect Group Inc. CEO and VP Construction Jesse Johnson, and The Educational Partnership Foundation President and CEO Barb Simic.

We talked about our government's investments in the Union Training and Innovation Program. These investments put skilled workers first. They build the training capacity, the apprenticeship pathways and the innovation that keep building trades strong across Alberta.

🎃 During October, our Build Together committee hosted two spooktacular comedy nights to raise funds for apprentice bursaries! Thank you to the Build Together team and to YukYuk's for partnering on these wonderful #Halloween fundraisers. 💀
