The provincial skills competitions, held in February, March, and April, raises awareness of the tremendous careers in trades and technology.

There are 40 competitions in 31 categories, and are open to Island high school, post-secondary students and apprentices.

“The competition gives companies, industries, and other professionals a chance to meet and recruit skilled people who have demonstrated that they are at the top of their game,” says Tawna MacLeod, Executive Director of Skills Canada PEI. “Many teachers and post-secondary learning managers get calls from employers who ask about the students who were in the competitions.”
