Canada invests $28 million in Nova Scotia apprenticeship project

Truro, Nova Scotia — The Canadian government announced it will invest $28 million in the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency’s Apprenticeship Start Plus Project.

The project will provide financial support to small and medium-sized enterprises in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador to hire a minimum of 5,200 first-year apprentices in eligible Red Seal trades over the next two years. This includes a minimum of 1,190 first-year apprentices from equity-deserving groups such as women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous people and racialized people.

“Canada needs more skilled trades workers. We need more women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous people, racialized Canadians and other traditionally marginalized people to get into the skilled trades. That’s why the Apprenticeship Service program is so critical. It’s helping more and more Canadians seize these great job opportunities, and it’s making sure businesses have the skilled workers they need to thrive,” said Carla Qualtrough, minister of employment, workforce development and disability inclusion.

According to the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, in order to meet the demand for skilled journeypersons in Red Seal trades, an average of approximately 75,000 new apprentices will need to be hired per year over the next five years.
