The lack of skilled workers is a challenge across the country and Saskatchewan is no different. That’s why the provincial government is investing $1.5 million to expand the number of apprenticeship training seats by 250 to a total of 4,450. That means training institutions can increase their apprenticeship intake.

Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison says, “With a significant number of capital projects underway and projected in the next two to three years, including the development and expansion of canola crush facilities, agricultural manufacturing, and potash mining, the demand for skilled trades is on the rise.”
