Skilled Trades

A CAREER, Not Just a Job

Page 11: Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Presentation Final English

What is a SKILLED TRADE?

• Skilled trades are everywhere and directly impact our quality of life.

• Skilled Trades fall into the following categories:• Construction and Maintenance

• Transportation

• Manufacturing

• Service

There are over 200 trades to CHOOSE from!

Page 12: Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Presentation Final English

Myths & REALITIES: Setting the Record Straight

REALITY!

• This is simply not true and is probably the most common misperception about skilled trades.

• The reality is that skilled trades require individuals with a strong academic foundation in reading and writing, math, and sciences.

1 MYTH Skilled trades are not for students that get good grades.

Page 13: Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Presentation Final English

Myths & REALITIES: Setting the Record Straight

REALITY!

• Achieving a Certificate of Qualification for a skilled trade is also a ticket to a good future, given the high demand, good pay, and travel opportunities involved.

• There are also many chances for advancement within a trade from supervisory positions, to management positions, to the possibility of owning your own business.

2 MYTH University is the only path to a good career.

Page 14: Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Presentation Final English

Myths & REALITIES: Setting the Record Straight

REALITY!

• There is no doubt that many trades involve “hands-on” work.

• But this is why many people work in trades in the first place! For many, this type of work is far more rewarding than a job that requires a lot of desk work.

3 MYTH Skilled trades are dirty, noisy and physically demanding.

Page 15: Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Presentation Final English

Myths & REALITIES: Setting the Record Straight

REALITY!

• Skilled trades offer not just jobs, but careers!

• There are many chances for advancement within a trade from supervisory positions, to management positions, to the possibility of owning your own business.

• The level of advancement is up to the capability and desire of the tradesperson.

4 MYTH Jobs in the trades are dead-end jobs.

Page 16: Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Presentation Final English

Myths & REALITIES: Setting the Record Straight

REALITY!

• Physical work does not solely imply strength. In fact, skilled trades require dexterity, stamina, good hand-eye coordination and balance – all attributes that women equally possess along with men.

5 MYTH Women do not have the physical strength to perform skilled trades.

Have Skills…Will Travel

There are forty-five trades designated as Red Seal* trades.

• In Red Seal Trades, completing apprentices and holders of Certificate of Qualification may apply to write an interprovincial examination. If they succeed, they receive a Red Seal endorsement.

• Certified workers who hold a Red Seal may work anywhere in Canada where their trade is designated without having to write further examinations for their trade.

*The Red Seal represents an Interprovincial Standard of Excellence in Skilled Trades. Permission has been granted by the Canadian Council of Directors of Apprenticeship (CCDA) for use in this presentation.
