Team Canada Strong: 6B Plan for Skilled Trades
Description
The Carney government unveils Team Canada Strong, a six billion dollar initiative over five years to recruit, train, and hire up to one hundred thousand new skilled trades workers. Targeting young, unemployed individuals, this plan aims to fill critical gaps in construction, plumbing, and other hands-on jobs. Employers receive wage subsidies, weekly top-ups, and bonuses for Red Seal certification. With youth unemployment at fourteen point one percent and a projected shortfall of one point four million trades pros by 2033, this initiative seeks to provide secure careers for young people and modernize the system with online exams, digital logbooks, and faster certification processes.
