Helping youth explore their options in trades and technology
Under the umbrella of Skills Compétences Canada, Skills Canada Yukon coordinates efforts with 12 other regional chapters in the country. Specifically in the Yukon we encourage, support, and promote skilled trades and technologies to youth and their communities throughout our beautiful territory.
What is Skills Canada Yukon?
As a member of Skills Cométences Canada, our mission is to engage with Yukoners across the territory to offer insight into our designated and undesignated trade and technology career sector!
We work with mentors, coaches, and volunteers, partners in industry and education, and all levels of government to invest in Yukon’s next generation of skills tradespeople. We work together to connect Yukon youth with hands-on opportunities to explore meaningful and rewarding careers in skilled trades and technologies.
