November 3 to 9 is National Skilled Trade and Technology Week across Canada, raising awareness of career opportunities in skilled trades and technology in the Northwest Territories (NWT) and Canada.

Congratulations to all of the apprentices and journeypersons across the territory who have successfully completed their training, and to those receiving top mark awards. These awards showcase remarkable talent within the NWT and highlight the contributions made by businesses and employers to the growth of NWT’s trades and technology sector.
