The voice of the
mechanical contractors
industry in Alberta.
|
Throughout 2016, the best term to describe what MCA has undertaken is: building capacity. Starting in late 2015, with the launch of the Calgary and Edmonton Young Executive groups through to the launch of the mechanical focused education program in October 2016, the MCA has significantly expanded its capacity to deliver results. Results that will provide real value back to you; the MCA membership.

Studies have shown that employees would prefer their employer implement an employee benefit plan over receiving a raise in pay.

Our directors believe that this membership program is a good employee benefit for our MCA Alberta Contractors thus giving them an edge over non MCA members in obtaining apprentices in the plumber, steamfitter, gas and sprinkler system installation trades.
