In celebration of The Skills Competence Canada National Virtual Competition this week; NTC Members for Trade #18: Electrical Installations were requested to make a try a trade video they could share with their provincial/territorial offices. The goal was to promote their skill and interest youth to get involved in trying out Electrical Trades. Long time competitor, NTC Member, Judge and Skills Nunavut Board Member Kimberly Smith took a fun and engaging approach to her Try a Trade Video. “It's easy to just talk to a camera, but it isn't engaging for the kids you know? I tried to make it funny” says Smith.
“I'd like to take the time to share with you my life story/my try-a-trade video! Many thanks to Natalie Maerzluft for her incredible video skillzzz. #scanada”
We’re so proud to have Kim as a Nunavut Alumni, changing her community one electrical installation and video at a time!
Join us on Feb. 25th, 2021 from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM EST for an interactive event as we explore careers in the trades and technology sector with Skills Competences Canada and industry partners across Canada!

Arnauvugut::Building Our Dreams Trade Week was the first of it’s kind in Nunavut! Skills Canada Nunavut asked young women in High School (and recent Graduates) to apply. With just over 40 applicants, 30 girls from 15 communities were chosen to attend a 3 day Try-A-Trade conference in Rankin Inlet at the Nunavut Arctic College’s fully equipped Trade Centre. Due to Covid-19, the girls were separated into groups of 6 and each group rotated through workshops in Carpentry, Plumbing, Oil Heating Systems, Electrical and were able to try Heavy Equipment Simulators.
We also arranged some presentations with Skills Canada Nunavut (of course), the Nunavut Arctic College and Nunavut’s Apprenticeship Career Development Officer.
With all the girls meeting one another for the first time, we also had some social events planned like a really fun scavenger hunt with several teams running around Rankin, even having to do a jig outside the local grocery store, AND our group Barbecue featured musk-ox burgers and caribou burgers.
Arnauvugut::Building our Dreams takes place in Rankin this coming August.
It’s a full week for young women in Grades 9-12, (or recent graduates) to EXPLORE the world of TRADES!
We have prepared for 30 participants and are excited to be planning try-a-trade activities that will include carpentry and machine operation. With Flights, Accommodation and Meals included, young women in Nunavut must apply by July 31st, 2020. Applications can be obtained by emailing Gail; gailh@skillscanada.com or call 1-867-975-7119.
…went like this! 👏👏👏
