Cathy McLeod, MP for Kamloops – Thompson – Cariboo recently advised of the of Canada’s new partnership with the forestry industry to connect youth with jobs in forestry and address skills shortages.
The first is a new website, TheGreenestWorkforce.ca, which provides information on career opportunities in Canada’s forestry industry. The second is the Green Dream Internship, a video competition that will award paid internships with forest products companies to eight students across the country.
The Greenest Workforce, which is partially funded through the Sectoral Initiatives Program, is helping youth develop the skills they need to get jobs now and prepare for the workforce of tomorrow.
