Construction Labour Relations Alberta (CLRA) is supporting a new initiative launched by the Government of Alberta that invites trades professionals to help shape the future of skilled trades across the province.
The initiative, called My Skilled Trades Network (MSTN), is a voluntary program designed to connect subject matter experts with government representatives. The goal is to ensure Alberta’s trades policies and programs are informed by the people who know the industry best: those working in it every day.
“This is a timely and important opportunity for our contractors and trades professionals to share their knowledge and experience in a meaningful way,” says Joe McFadyen, President of CLRA. “Whether you’re a journeyperson, employer, instructor or active participant in the trades, this is your chance to share your expertise with government and help build a stronger future for Alberta’s workforce. We encourage our members and industry partners to consider applying and lending their voice to this important work.”
Participants in MSTN may be asked to complete surveys, attend meetings or provide input on projects that influence policy and planning. If selected, you’ll become part of a growing network of professionals who are helping to bridge the gap between industry and government. Your contributions will help ensure that Alberta’s skilled trades remain competitive, responsive and future ready.
We encourage CLRA members and their tradespeople to apply and be part of the conversation. Your voice matters and this is your chance to use it.
