A lack of skilled trades people and a lack of jobs for young people.
Something is not adding up.
Tridel recognizes that there will be a serious shortage of skilled trades people in the near future and believes that the construction industry needs to inspire a new generation of trades people.
B.O.L.T. (Building Opportunites for Life Today) is:
- creating awareness of construction careers
- supporting community based programs that connect youth with training and education in the construction industry
- raising funds to provide scholarships for youth in construction related programs
