SK provides $2.5M for construction-related training

The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $2.5M into construction-related training across the province. This funding will enable the expansion of more than 200 additional pre-apprenticeship training seats in trades such as electrical, carpentry, plumbing, welding, and more. Seats will be increased at Dumont Technical Institute, the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies, and the province’s regional colleges—Carlton Trail College, Great Plains College, Lakeland College, Northlands College, North West College, Southeast College, and Suncrest College. “Investments to boost the number of training seats for skilled trades are crucial in Saskatchewan, particularly for Southeast College, given the significant number of infrastructure projects underway in the southeast region,” said Southeast President Vicky Roy.
