Skills Clubs are extra-curricular programs run by teachers and industry professionals who want to engage youth in the opportunities that Trades and Technology can offer. They can provide participants with the opportunity to experiment with different trades.

We will work with you to get youth engaged in their learning – out of their chair and onto their feet!
