APPRENTICESHIP SCHOLARSHIPS

Northern Sask. students among 100 trade scholarship winners

Jun 23, 2023 | 12:00 PM

Roughly 100 apprentice and trade scholarships are being given to Saskatchewan students including several from north central and northern Saskatchewan.

The scholarships are awarded annually to graduating students pursuing a career in the skilled trades from the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC).

Students can redeem the scholarships for $1,000 within two years of high school graduation by registering as an apprentice and successfully completing Level 1 technical training, or by completing a recognized pre-employment program in a trade designated in Saskatchewan.

“Our province’s economy is strong and skilled tradespeople are essential for continued growth,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Congratulations to the winners of this year’s SYA Industry Scholarships. We wish you all the best as you embark on rewarding careers right here in Saskatchewan.”

Since the scholarship’s launch in 2009, more than 1,200 awards have been issued. The Government of Saskatchewan and 60 industry sponsors have invested a total of $1.2 million in the Saskatchewan Youth Apprentice Industry Scholarship fund.

“Careers in the skilled trades are meaningful, first-choice careers,” SATCC Commission Board Chair Drew Tiefenbach said. “They give people the opportunity to innovate; learn while doing; work with their hands; and solve problems. Skilled tradespeople perform valuable work that positively impacts the people of Saskatchewan.”
