Trades Facility Expansion

Applying skills, theories and training through applied learning.

Technical and Vocational Skills Training

The existing trades training facility in Humboldt provides classroom and shop space to both Carlton Trail College and Horizon School Division secondary students as part of a unique, working arrangement between the institutions.

Not only is this facility vital to the delivery of regionally valued programs such as welding, electrician, industrial mechanics and other skilled trades programming, it also exposes high-school youth to in-demand career opportunities and hands-on training in the trades.

Training for the Future

When the original facility opened in the 1980s, it was celebrated for the ability to meet increased training demand in a clean, modern setting. Since then, through balanced programming and careful scheduling, we have maximized the use of the facility.

Recent announcements, such as those related to major mining investments, the expansion of regional agricultural enterprises and increased residential and commercial activity, indicate there continues to be a strong need to engage individuals in the trades. To continue to do so, an updated, expanded trades training facility is required.

Additional shop and classroom space will increase facility usage, furthering the College’s ability to develop skilled workers, along with offering potential opportunities for expanded partnerships and use agreements with regional groups and organizations.
