Each of the 13 Skills Canada Member Organizations also promoted some of their fun and interactive programming throughout the week. Through this initiative, SCC continued to inform Canadians about the importance of skilled trade and technology careers with interactive content which was shared on SCC’s social media platforms.

National Skilled Trade and Technology Week 2020
Skills/Compétences Canada presented a fun, engaging social media campaign for National Skilled Trade and Technology Week 2020 in place of our usual face-to-face events due to Covid-19 restrictions. Fittingly, the Essential Skills theme for 2020 was Digital Skills. A huge thank you to Vale for being the official sponsor of this year’s campaign.
The campaign featured video contributions from Skills/Compétences Canada stakeholders, partners, alumni, member organizations and a special message from the Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion. A special thank you goes out to celebrity supporters Mike Holmes, Mike Holmes Jr, Sherry Holmes and Sebastian Clovis for their participation in the campaign.
Skills/Compétences Canada held a contest for a brand new, sold out X Box Series X on Facebook and Instagram during National Skilled Trade and Technology Week. The contest had many entries and was ultimately won by Skills/Compétences Canada alumni Joshua Faucher.
