The Government of Saskatchewan has announced that it is providing approximately $4.38M to the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC) and other institutions to support the delivery of skills training programs. The funding will allow institutions to expand their programming in the construction, welding, and health care sectors in order to meet labour market needs. Several of the training opportunities will focus on providing opportunities for Indigenous individuals and under-represented groups. “This funding … will promote a more diverse and inclusive workforce, and it will grow the number of skilled workers in high-demand occupations in communities across Saskatchewan,” said SK Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison.
