You are invited to attend the upcoming Next in Trades event series at NAIT that aims to encourage and empower people from all backgrounds and abilities to explore careers in the skilled trades industry.

NAIT recognizes that Indigenous peoples, Black and racialized communities, newcomers, women, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the trades. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to explore their potential and discover a career that works for them.

Next in Trades will be held March 18th and 25th at NAIT’s main campus. We would love for you to join us and experience what the skilled trades have to offer.

Next in Trades events:

The future of skilled trades includes a diverse and inclusive workplace – one that provides equal opportunities for all people. This event aims to create a supportive environment to explore the trades. Attend hands-on workshops taught by current NAIT instructors in a trade that interests you. Our workshops will give you a glimpse into future careers such as:

• Plumber
• Electrician
• Instrumentation
• Cabinetmaker
• Industrial Mechanic (Millwright)
• Carpenter
• Machinist/Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Technician
• Insulator
• Glazier
• Culinary Arts/Baking and Pastry Arts/Professional Meat cutting and Merchandising
•

At NAIT, we honour and acknowledge that the land on which we learn, work and live is Treaty Six territory. We seek to learn from history and the lessons that have come before us, and to draw on the wisdom of the First Peoples in Canada. Only through learning can we move forward in truth and reconciliation, and to a better future together.

The Fort Saskatchewan High School Band received top marks in the Fort Saskatchewan Music Festival this year. This is an especially great feat as the band had only started working together at the start of semester 2. The adjudicator Oscar-Jose Garcia (who’s bio is available here: http://www.truenorthmusicschool.com/?page_id=35) had amazing feedback and great things to say about the hard work the students put in. The band will be travelling to Vegreville for the Wendy Brooks festival and plan on also performing well for the community.

A big congrats to Klarke Pierce who demonstrated excellent wrestling skills at the Metro City Championships on March 1st. Klarke wrestled in the biggest division and gave the other wrestlers a good run. In the end he placed 5th out of 22 securing himself a spot in the provincials down in Lethbridge later this week. Amazing job Klarke.
