Skilled tradespeople are in high demand to fill well-paying jobs and build rewarding careers. This demand will only increase as the Government of Canada estimates that approximately 700,000 skilled trades workers in Canada with retire by 2028 and the BC Labour Market estimates include 156,000 job openings in skilled trades and related jobs by 2033, with an expanding construction industry and an increasing need for trades services in the Okanagan Region.

Jill of All Trades™ is a day-long event to inspire young women in Grades 9-12 to pursue education and careers in skilled trades and apprenticeship. The event includes many hands-on workshops in the motive power, manufacturing, and construction trades sectors. Female mentors lead these workshops to help young women develop a better understanding of the potential of skilled trades careers.
