Saskatchewan government announces over $4M in funding for skills training programs 

The government announced approximately $4.38 million in funding for the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC) and other training institutions to create more than 100 new seats in key, high-demand training programs. Funds will be allocated to expanding skill training programs in sectors including health care, construction and welding to support the labour needs of businesses. Skills programs include welding, health-care aide and continuing care aide programs, medical lab assistant, electrical applied certificate, steel stud and drywall programming and introduction to scaffolding.

 

“This funding will prioritize training for individuals who are under-represented in the workforce, it will promote a more diverse and inclusive workforce, and it will grow the number of skilled workers in high-demand occupations in communities across Saskatchewan.”

 

The province said the funding will also support actions of the Saskatchewan Growth Plan to ensure under-represented groups are enabled to participate in the economy.
