Coordinator of Technology & Skilled Trades for Anglophone South Moira Sherwood making a presentation to the District Education Council last night on the importance of skilled trades to our students and the connection between co-op courses and apprenticeship.
Sherwood tells Tide News the need for skilled trades workers across New Brunswick is very evident. She says the labour shortage in the province identifies why this is an opportunity to show the students all of their choices for a career.
Sherwood says many courses the students can take now will give them hours that can count towards an apprenticeship later, such as Carpentry, Cabinet Making, Framing & Sheathing. Sherwood says not all of the schools in the Anglophone South School District have every course, but there is a wide variety of careers to choose from at each school. She says they want students to see all of their possibilities.
