WorldSkills
Team Canada
2019
also
had the opportunity to participate in
a few
excursions such as a visit to a traditional Tatarstan Village
where they
learned about
an assemblage of historic timbered buildings, which marks the
living
quarter where ethnic Tatars were forced to live following the siege of Kazan in 1552.
They also visited the Kazan Kremlin and grounds
, a famous world heritage site
,
and attended a welcome reception at the International Equestrian Sports Complex where they tasted
authentic
Russian cuisine, watched live horse races and were entertained by
traditional
Tatarstan dancers.
A few interesting facts about WorldSkills Kazan 2019:
-
For the first time
,
a flag relay preceded the WorldSkills Competition. In February 2018, the WorldSkills official flag was sent to the International
S
pace Station on a Russian Soyuz rocket. It
then
travelled around the world to all the countries that previously hosted a WorldSkills Competition.
-
For WorldSkills Kazan 2019, competitors and experts were housed in newly built WorldSkills Village capable of holding 14,000 people.
-
The Skills Competitions are constantly evolving to reflect our changing world. At WorldSkills Kazan 2019, Water Technology and Hotel Reception became new official Skill Areas.
- The WorldSkills Kazan 2019 shopping list included: 150,000 sheets of paper for Print Media Technology, 30,400 screws for Plumbing and Heating and 1,000 cocktail sticks for Restaurant Services. General items needed for this Competition included: 24,800 bricks, 1,944 drinking glasses, 450 chef's hats, 24,838 individual fresh flowers, 22 drones and 35,000 meters of electrical cable to name a few.

UA Canada - Skills Explored
UA Canada, the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters of Canada
, hosted their annual Indigenous Students Program at the Skills Canada National Competition in May this year in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This program invites local Indigenous high school students to attend this amazing event, introducing them to over 40 skilled trades and technologies.
Twenty-six local Indigenous students signed up for the program and were bussed to Halifax, with their chaperones, from as far
as Cape Breton Island.
After arriving in Halifax, UA Canada hosted a dinner for their
s
pecial
g
uests at a local restaurant before whisking them off to the Skills Canada National Competition
o
pening
c
eremony at the Cunard Centre in downtown Halifax. Filled with cheers for all the
c
ompetitors from across Canada, the students were wowed by such a vibrant celebration.
The students then turned in for the night to rest up for the exciting day ahead.
In the morning, the students arrived at the Skills Canada National Competition at the Halifax Exhibition Centre. They were greeted by their UA Canada host, Jill
Timushka
, and tour guides from Skills
/
Compétences
Canada where they received their day passes, backpacks, and
Essential
Skills
p
assports.
Along with their guides and chaperones, the students toured the Skills Canada National Competition
(SCNC)
, which hosted more than 550 competitors, competing in over 40
Skill Areas.
The
annual
event
challenges the winners from each of the
p
rovincial
/territorial
s
kills
c
ompetitions, in each skilled trade
or technology
, to determine the
national winners
. The students were able to watch these competitors do their very best to win the
g
old
m
edal in their skilled trade
or technology
.
The Indigenous student group explores skilled trades and technology careers at the 2019 Skills Canada National Competition, in Halifax.
There were many Try-
A
-Trade
® and Technology
activity
booths set up throughout the event. The students were encouraged to try their hand at any of the
skilled
trades
or technologies
that interested them. With each
Try-
A
-Trade
® and Technology
activity
that they tried, the students could get a stamp in their
p
assport, then enter
it
to win a draw for a prize.
After lunch, students were entertained at
the Essential Skills Stage with UA Canada's Ryan Skalko
hosting the Trade Trivia Contest. The contest had two teams of students competing to see who had learned the most about the trades while at this amazing event. One of the students
who
played along
won a great prize!
In the afternoon, students were bussed to UA Local 56 to have a tour of their fantastic training facility, hosted by the Business Manager himself, Darren Muise. The group talked about what they had discovered about the trades while snacking on sandwiches, pop and cookies. The students then boarded the bus for one last
,
long ride home.
UA Canada is looking forward to hosting this event again next year, on May 28
and
29, when the
26
th
Skills Canada National Competition is held in Vancouver, B

Women of Steel - Forging New Opportunities: Introduction to Welding Program
CWB Welding Foundation recently announced the
Women Of Steel - Forging New Opportunities: Introduction to Welding Program (IWP) which delivered an overview of the welding profession to 72 participants through a 30 hour, one week program. This was launched at six post-secondary institutions across Canada and developed specifically for women across geographic and demographic sectors. This program encourages the participants to explore careers in welding, gain valuable hands on experience and enables them to launch further investigation into educational and work opportunities. This will also allow them to develop the skills needed to find and keep good, well-paying jobs in the trade and labour market across Canada.
Each participant completes a 30 hour course that covers an introduction to the welding trade CWBI Acorn Health and Safety, basic theory of Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), and welding with the SMAW process. At the conclusion of the program, participants will be tested to obtain CWB Welder Qualification in a fillet weld, flat position. This is the first step which enables graduates to enter the workforce.
Introduction to Welding Program locations included Edmonton, Alta., Tiverton, Ont., Ottawa, Ont., Regina, Sask., Moncton, N.B., and Whitehorse, Yuk. throughout August and September 2019.
"As an instructor for the Introduction to Welding Program held in Edmonton, Alta., in August 2019, I watched a motivated group of women improve their welding skills in a very short period of time. The majority of the class had no prior tool experience, let alone welding experience, but were able to produce a sealable fillet weld by the end of the program week. I have had some third year apprentices with over 3,000 hours of work experience who were not able to produce the quality and sound metal these ladies have learned to do within the IWP course. It has created a platform where women can learn practical and theoretical welding skills that will set them up to advance in their next steps towards a career in the Canadian welding skilled trade."
- Wesley Schneider, Welding Instructor, 2019 Introduction to Welding Program, Alberta Pipe Trades Training College, Edmonton, Alta. Wesley's has worked for the Government of Alberta, as the Welding Consultant/Trades Officer and is now an Instructor at Alberta Pipe Trades Training College.
83% of the women at the Edmonton, Alta. IWP successfully passed their CWB Fillet Weld Test. We look forward to sharing the results from all of the IWPs, which you will be able to find on our website at
www.cwbweldingfoundation.org/wos.

WorldSkills Competitions - Lasting Experiences and Memories

privilege
of experiencing Skills at

was
part of a World

was
the choice destination.
This level of competition reunites the best of the best, from countries all around the world. The participants and their support teams gather to compete
but most importantly to share their passion and dedication to the trade
they have chosen
. New lasting friendships are formed, different cultures are discovered, and boundaries are broken
, leaving this new generation of skilled youth
with opportunities that will benefit them throughout their entire career and life.
As a sponsor and technical support to the Industrial M
echanic
Millright
t
rade, I am so proud and thankful to be part of the whole Skills
a
dventure. It has shown me
and open
ed
my eyes to the fact that
skilled
t
rade
s
represent
not only opportunit
ies
but
the many
new avenues
that our youth get to choose
from
and flourish in.
If you are a young person
and you're
not sure
where life
will
lead you
,
which path to embark on
or where your interests lie,
you can
look at everything that the skills world has to offer you
and discover
the many opportunities that are available to you
