Message from the CEO
Skills/Compétences Canada (SCC) is diligently preparing in collaboration with Skills Canada Nova Scotia for the 25th Skills Canada National Competition (SCNC). SCNC 2019 will be held on May 28 and 29 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where over 550 students and apprentices from across Canada will push their limits for the chance to win a spot on the podium. In addition to the competitors, we are expecting more than 7,500 student visitors during the two days who will not only witness the competition but have the opportunity to try their hand at over 50
Try-A-Trade® and Technology activities
which will help them
discover the many careers available in skilled trades and technology. During SCNC, SCC will be highlighting one of the nine Essential Skills - Continuous Learning; and how it is crucial to keep up with the changing job market. Digital and technical skills will also be highlighted as they greatly impact the future of skilled trade and technology jobs on a global scale. Many special events including the Essential Skills Forum, Young Women in Construction Trades conference, and the Automotive summit will
be held to highlight the milestone of SCNC's 25th anniversary and the evolution of this important competition.
At SCNC 2019, the 62 WorldSkills Team Canada (WSTC) 2019 Prospects will compete in the WSTC selection event, which is the final stage of the WorldSkills Team Canada 2019 selection process. These Prospects have been training under the guidance of their WorldSkills Trainer and the WorldSkils Expert since last year's SCNC. We congratulate them on their hard work and wish them the best of luck at the selection event. The winners will go on to compete for the title of international champion at WorldSkills Kazan 2019! The WorldSkills Competition is held every two years and represents the best of international skilled trades and technology.
In January, SCC staff and volunteers attended the WorldSkills Competition Preparation Week in Kazan, Russia as part of the preparations for the international event. With over 1,400 competitors in 56 Skill areas, Skills Canada is looking forward to this amazing event this August.
Whether it is for the Provincial/Territorial, National or International Competitions or any of our other programs I want to take this opportunity to thank our hundreds of volunteers and our partners for their tremendous work. It's through their commitment that we are able to engage Canada's future skilled workforce.
I hope that I will see you soon at one of our upcoming events.

Kassandra Bilodeau, a Car Painting Competitor at WorldSkills São Paulo 2015, in Brazil, Talks About How Her Passion For Cars Led to a Specialized Career Choice
The person who got me interested in car painting was my father, no doubt about it. He had a 1986 Monte-Carlo that needed a lot of love. I was about nine years old when I started helping him to restore his car. For me, those were the best father and daughter times ever. My father was a mechanic by trade, and he took the time to explain all the parts of the carburetor engine, all about mechanics and about all kinds of old cars. Above all, he helped me feel the passion he felt about cars. That was the start of my love affair with cars, especially old cars that needed a new paint job. As a young girl, I was passionate about colours, for drawing and painting. I was just 10 years old when I drew my first vintage car.
I have to say that my father is also the person who had the most influence over the young woman I am today. He was the first person to believe in me and to encourage me in all my projects. I also have to thank Claude Labonté, a teacher of bodywork at my school. He recognized my skill in painting and told me I had the potential to compete in a WorldSkills Competition. He was my mentor throughout that competition. We went through the highs and lows of training together and he always supported me. He knew how to encourage me and to share his knowledge with me in a way that helped me make the right choices. Claude Labonté was the first one to tell me about the WorldSkills Competition and to suggest I could do well. Of course, there were others who told me that young girls don't know anything about cars. "It's not the place for girls," they said as they tried to discourage me; but they got a surprise when they saw how determined I was to succeed, and I did.
Thanks to the concentrated training for WorldSkills I was able to learn a great deal in a very short time. All that hard work helped me to become a better painter, and a new and better person. Participating at a high, international level opened doors for me within my trade and career but it also changed me and the way I look at life.
I strongly believe we can do a lot more to attract girls and women into our trades and technology. For example, by telling the stories of other women like me who have been successful in non-traditional trades. More women need to know these success stories and have the chance to speak with us and ask questions of us. Then they would know that they are just as capable of making their own career.
I am a 24-year old woman, barely five feet tall but I know how to take a heavy truck apart and put it back together. If I can do it, so can many other young women. All they need is encouragement. Let us make examples of women who have made successful careers in specialized trades to encourage and attract more women into non-traditional trades.

My advice for anyone who is in school right now and who is not sure what kind of trade to enter is very simple. Follow your heart. Go where your passion is! Don't choose a trade because of the pay, the social status or the opinion of others, even your parents. It's your life! Choose a trade that makes you happy to go to work every morning, a trade where the hours fly by and you are proud of what you're doing. Pay no attention to the people who say you can't do it. Yes, you can!
At present, I am self-employed. I do a complete overhaul of heavy trucks. I give new life and new colours to tired trucks. In addition, I am a member of Skills/Compétences Canada's National Alumni Committee. I would like very much to introduce a program that would bring former competitors into schools in Quebec to tell the students about the wonderful opportunities that the specialized trades and the WorldSkills Competition can offer them. I am also chef d'atelier (workshop manager) for car painting for the provincial skills competition in Quebec. Recently, I attended the WorldSkills General Assembly in Niagara Falls. As a result of that experience I went to Rwanda, with WorldSkills as part of a mission to develop projects for promoting specialized trades in that country. As you can see, specialized trades can take you as far as you want to go.

Jill Timushka Shares Her Story as a Woman Working in the Male Dominated Trade of Welding
As a woman in the trades for 23 years, I can speak from experience that the trades are a great and rewarding career choice. Having always loved what I do for a living, I have never once regretted my decision to make a career from something I truly enjoy. Because I enjoy what I do, I never get up in the morning dreading the thought of going to work, like I had before joining the trades.
There were not a lot of women welders 23 years ago. This made for an interesting first few days on a new job site. Having worked hard to sharpen my skills, I always let my work speak for itself. In no time at all, the new group of co-workers were beside me, ready to tackle the next job, as a team.
Having no blood brothers of my own, I now have a hundred trade brothers. It's a family like no other. Tradespeople stick together. Whether you need help on the job or could just use a little advice, they're there for you. I've also fixed many plumbing issues with a quick evening phone call to a plumber brother.
Joining the trades can open the door to more possibilities than you would have ever expected. There are supervisory positions on many levels, teaching opportunities, or you could reach for the sky and work for head office. I taught for many years, from artist welding courses at the local college, to teaching pre-employment welding to adults at my union hall. Teaching high school students was very rewarding as well.
 |
|
|
Jill Timushka spreads the word to young women about pursuing a career in the skilled trades.
|
Telling young women about my experience and what it has brought me will hopefully encourage them to join the trades. I've always had a great sense of pride in my work. Knowing that what I have welded will be there for many years to come carries a pride that can't be explained. The great pay and benefits, as well as a pension plan, complete the deal. The great example for my son is an added bonus.
With more incentive pro-grams available to women in the trades, it's a great time to join. There's an Apprenticeship Incentive Grant specific for women, plus other grants are also available. There are now more options for workwear as well, with many companies having a clothing line specific to women. New technology and ever improving equipment make the trades more exciting. There is no better time to join the trades than now!
I'm living proof that women can succeed in the trades. I am honoured to be a woman welder.

Irving Shipbuilding Provides Career Opportunities for Underrepresented Youth
In 2011, Irving Shipbuilding was selected as Canada's combatant shipbuilder under the National Shipbuilding Strategy. This presented an opportunity to invest long-term to grow and diversify their team building Royal Canadian Navy's future fleet.
The Irving Shipbuilding Centre of Excellence was established with the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) to provide pathways and opportunities for underrepresented groups to pursue shipbuilding careers. Irving Shipbuilding invests $250,000 per year to support the Centre and its programs.
Pathways to Shipbuilding, which is one of their programs, is a 14-week preparatory course followed by a two-year trades diploma at NSCC. The end goal is to be hired with Irving Shipbuilding. To date, classes have been established for women, Indigenous Canadians, and African Nova Scotians.
The first graduates, 14 female welders and metal fabricators, joined Irving Shipbuilding in 2017 and will soon write Red Seal exams. The second class of women will graduate in Spring 2019 and are keen to start building ships. The graduates of the Pathways to Shipbuilding for Indigenous Canadians joined Irving Shipbuilding in the summer of 2018, and the African Nova Scotian class is studying welding and will graduate in 2020. These tradespeople are changing the face of shipbuilding and becoming role models for their communities.

Volvo CE's Dealer Strongco Hires Young Students for its Apprenticeship Program
Jaskaran
Bhogal had a passion for automobiles since a young age, when he watched YouTube videos on how to repair cars and later on, to help fix friends' cars. The 20-year-old was inspired to learn a trade from watching his dad, who was a carpenter and always worked with his hands. Pushed by his own eagerness for big challenges, Jas decided to follow a career in the heavy equipment industry.
|
|
|
Jaskaran Bhogal, apprentice at Strongco, talks about his career journey in the heavy equipment industry.
|
Only three days after graduating from Centennial College,
in
Toronto, the talented young technician was hired as an apprentice for Strongco, a Canadian Volvo CE dealer headquartered in Mississauga.
"It's exciting to fix something on a machine and then witness it construct a building or help pave roads," he said. "It's more than just me fixing a machine, it's for the greater good. This inspires me to keep learning everything I can."
Another apprentice who was hired
at Strongco was 23-year-old Chloé Dion.
Her grandfather's stories about travelling the world as the head of safety at a mining company encouraged her to study a trade. She started out in drilling and blasting, but every time a drill broke, she didn't know how to fix it. This drove her decision to go to Sir Sandford Fleming College and learn more about repairing drills. She enjoyed working in heavy equipment so much that she stayed.
|
|
|
Chloé Dion, apprentice at Strongco, shares her journey in the skilled trades.

"Going from drilling to heavy equipment has been a great experience because of the variety of work the job offers," Dion said. "Every day is different, with different problems to solve. I went from not knowing how to properly hold a wrench to knowing what tools to use to fix all types of machines."
Bhogal and Dion are part of a new generation of tech-nicians who are entering the workforce of an industry in
the midst of rapid trans-formation. Construction equi-pment manufacturers have been investing in new, innovative technologies, a move that has helped attract young talents to tech schools and reduce the labour shortage in the industry. Volvo CE, for example, has also partnered with organi-zations such as Skills/ Compétences Canada to encourage youth to pursue careers in manufacturing and engineering.
"With the development and use of technology in the industry, we are definitely seeing more young people picking up a trade," said Bruce Lough,
national training manager
for Strongco. "To help train these students, we support colleges with software tools and even put machines in the shops, so they get more familiar with Volvo CE products. When they graduate,
they are better equipped to start their career with the Volvo product
."
