"The skills that I’m able to learn from just working are irreplaceable. I can help friends with projects at home and build myself whatever I want on my own time."
“I started exploring trades two years ago when I joined my first Skills Yukon trades summer camp. I knew nothing about trades before this camp. I had no clue trades were a thing. After the 5 day camp I felt way more educated about how trades work, and how to get into trades. I’ve participated in trades camps, all girls welding, hair club, and competitions.”
"I experimented with video production during high school and found that I loved the process. From writing through to production, filmmaking includes a lot of my favorite activities and quickly became a major creative outlet for me. It is also endlessly challenging and requires focus, attention to detail and a lot of creativity and I really enjoy those challenges."
"A regular day? Never had one. That’s what I like about my job. One day I could be troubleshooting issues with a modern natural gas engine and the next could involve crawling into a hydro turbine performing inspections. It puts all areas of my trade to the test and pushes me to become a better technician every day."

"My trade has allowed me to work with all kinds of interesting people from all over the world and this has helped make me a more open-minded person. I have been lucky to work all over Canada in my current job; there has never been a boring day so far!"
"The best part of my trade is the dynamics involved. Although it may apply to other trades as well, I find that cooking has so many opportunities. There is so much variation that no two days need to be the same if I choose. Endless combinations of ingredients and processes make each meal an exciting adventure in itself."

"I have had lots of interesting projects! Colour corrections and doing fashion colours on clients usually takes multiple appointments, or at least a day to a half-day of work. I love the challenge and to see the process the hair goes through to reach the client’s goal."
"Skills Canada Yukon has brought prowess and ingenuity that helps me day to day"
"The challenges I faced at Skills Canada are similar scenarios that I face daily on the job. It's a great way for you to challenge your skills and meet others in the trade"
