INTRODUCTION

 

Forecasts indicate the construction industry in Alberta and Saskatchewan will need an additional 38,700 workers to meet the anticipated retirements and job growth projected to 2017. There is fierce competition with all other industries in attracting youth, so we in the construction industry must be proactive. With this, the Lloydminster Construction Association (LCA) along with affiliated industry trade associations will be partnering in the 3rd ANNUAL “TRY A TRADE CAREER EXPO” to be held at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds on Wednesday, May 2nd.

 

Students from all high schools in Lloydminster and surrounding area have been invited to experience first hand the various trade career opportunities that are available, and how they can start to build their career in the trades. The LCA is proud to report that this will be the 3rd Annual Try A Trade Career Expo and has expanded to include a Career Fair which will be held on Tuesday, May 1st from 6 to 8 pm.  The 2010 Try A Trade Career Expo had 85 booths and over 1200 students in attendance, so help make this year’s Expo bigger and better!

 

The focus of this event is to promote careers in the trades in which today’s youth, parents, and job seekers will be able to explore a wide range of options for a career in an industry that employs 1.3 million Canadians. It will also give your company a unique opportunity to promote your industry and to provide information for today’s youth.

 

Booths are available to showcase your company while the various trade associations will have dynamic interactive displays. Booth space is available in 10-foot increments as noted below. LCA encourages your company to also put forward an interactive/hands on display that will entice students to commence building a career in the trades. Don’t miss out on this exciting event! I encourage you to reserve your booth today, as space is limited. Please fill out your registration form and fax it back to 780-875-8874 ASAP. There is no cost to an interactive Company Booth.  Call 780-875-8875 for more information on this great opportunity.

 

Yours truly,
