The Trades Are Being Revitalised In High Schools

With an aging population, skilled trades instruction is becoming more of a necessity in our local high schools.

That, according to the Coordinator of Technology & Skilled Trades for Anglophone South Moira Sherwood who says it has become crystal clear there is a need for skilled trades people across the province.

She warns the shortages will only get worse with an aging population and more boomers retiring.

Sherwood says some courses like carpentry and cabinet making can use the hours spent in a classroom towards hours in an apprenticeship.
