Like a summer trade school: skilled trades learned at camp

Filed under Canada, Career Advice, The Future of Trades, Trade Schools

There’s an excellent report on a summer camp in Canada that is giving kids hands-on training and technical skills. The Trades and Tech Camp at Uxbridge High School in a suburb of Toronto. The hands-on camp engages students in skills related to numeracy and technology, introducing and building skills in things such as AutoCad. On the whole, the goal of the camp was to allow kids to explore a wide range of skilled trades.

These skilled trades will be in high demand, if all prognostications about the employment future hold true. The interest that kids gained will help them find the right fit for themselves and their careers. Encourage your local high school or industry to do the same!
