Many New Opportunities for Manitobans in Skilled Trades: Premier Selinger

The Skills and Jobs Tour will provide Manitobans with information on preparing for entering some of the province’s most in-demand jobs, the premier said.  Public meetings in several communities will give Manitoba families the chance to speak with and hear from local employers, training and education providers and provincial apprenticeship staff.

“Whether it’s an apprenticeship, college or university, there are no wrong doors to a good education and a better career,” Education Minister James Allum said.  “This tour will help more Manitobans tap into the opportunities all around us.”

The first week-long Skills and Jobs Tour will run from Aug. 18 to 22, with community town hall meetings at the following locations:
