Enabling youth on their path to rewarding careers

Youth is in demand The labour shortage predictions are staggering, both in Alberta and across Canada. Employers are already finding it difficult to fill skilled trades positions. The typical in-demand, skilled trades person takes three to four years to train, but the Registered Apprenticeship Program can get you started today.

You are invited!

In collaboration with our education and industry partners, CAREERS would like to invite parents and students to our RAP and Skilled Trade Fairs. This free event introduces students to in-demand career opportunities and provides the knowledge to get started. Check out previous event highlights.

CAREERS programming: Increases student commitment to schooling by 99% . 99% of RAP and Dual Credit students will finish high school. 93% of students recommend CAREERS programming.

"We are the future" "Before the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) I had no motivation for anything," Kathryn Mackenzie, RAP graduate, told the crowd at the RAP celebration. "It's hard to apply yourself when you don’t even know why you are doing it." Kathryn says the RAP program gave her a future to work towards, making her excited to do her best every day. "Now, as an 18-year-old student, I can confidently say I have aspirations. I want to further my education, so I’m going back to SAIT in March. I want to become a skilled painter, I’m working as a second-year apprentice."
