Lynn Allan – Apprenticeship update
Bob Stadnyk has been hired as our permanent instructor here in Edmonton. The two bays have now been open and are hosting their first class.
We are thinking of doing an open house to bring in employers, potential students, etc to see the new space and try to generate more students. We would like to do this in 4 weeks, on a Friday. Notification must go out – Kaylee Contact Lynn regarding this
Wendy Clarahan – Career Fair Update
The Career fair in November went very well, there were over 18000 attendees to the fair. We had both members and apprentices volunteer which was great but we were hoping to get some more Journeymen for next year as we were confronted by Skills Canada to hold more of a hands on demonstration at their location for potential students to get a feel for the job. If there are any volunteers who would like to be involved next year please contact Wendy at clarahanwl@visionwall.com
We were also approached by the Labour Market Newsletter about doing an article.
