Schulich Builders: Scholarships for Skilled Trades
The Schulich Builders program will combat the shortage of skilled trades in Ontario and amplify their importance and value to our community by awarding 100 annual scholarships to the most promising candidates across colleges in Ontario including Humber.
Your Career
Water, waste and sewage systems – hallmarks of urban living – require high-level skills to design, install and maintain. In our program, you’ll be introduced to the skills necessary to begin your career as a plumber. Graduates of this program may find a range of career opportunities including apprenticeship, construction industry work, green energy initiatives and municipal water and sewage treatment.
According to BuildForce Canada, a significant number of skilled trade workers are expected to retire over the next decade. This demographic trend represents a signifcant loss of skilled workers that will require new workers to replace them.
Given this potential shortage, as well as the boom in construction across the country, individuals with plumbing skills are projected to have an advantage in the job market.
