The Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency (NSAA) and Board are expanding industry input into the apprenticeship system by creating new Industry Sector Committees. Four Industry Sector Committees representing construction, industrial/manufacturing, motive power, and services will provide industry-wide expertise and feedback directly into the apprenticeship system and increase the breadth of diversity and regional perspectives.
The sector committees will provide insights into sector trends and challenges, oversee the work of the Trade Advisory Committees, bring recommendations forward to the Board, and be key partners in the province's plans to add 5,000 new apprentices in three years.
The NSAA Board is seeking representatives from employers, employees, industry associations, sector councils, unions, open shops (non-unionized), community partners and training providers including applicants from equity-deserving groups and individuals across the province.
Participation in the Industry Sector Committees is your opportunity to have your voice heard and to share your vision for trades in Nova Scotia.
Applications close May 14, 2024.
