A $240 000 mobile welding facility will become available to high schools starting in September 2021.
The project is a result of a partnership between The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development as well as the CWB Welding Foundation, Ocean Steel & Construction Ltd. and Source Atlantic Ltd.
The investment will help meet the needs of a labour market that has seen a shortage of welding professionals largely due to an ageing Canadian population.
“This partnership is a great example of how the government can work with industry to meet the needs of our changing labour market.” Said Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Dominic Cardy.
