Our guide highlights the types of jobs that will be available throughout the construction of the LRT and skills, competencies and training necessary to be successful in a career in these fields.  It also offers some insights into the jobs required to maintain it after it is built.

Included are full career guides for 20 of the most in-demand occupations for the LRT. Each profile includes a job description, wage information, and training and education information.

This project explores the availability of skilled trades workers in the Industrial, Construction, and Motive Power trades.  

The project involved data analysis using the most up-to-date information from the 2016 Census data, as well as the 2011 National Household Survey, Vicinity Job Postings and Job Bank Occupational Outlook.

To introduce more young women to the option of a career in the skilled trades, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board and the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, with funding from Employment Ontario, presented Tech 2014: Women at Work at Mohawk's Stoney Creek Campus on February 25, 2014.  Tech 2014 was organized by Workforce Planning Hamilton, and supported by the Industry Education Council Hamilton.

An info-graphic was created as part of the information that was included in a booklet distributed to female high school students who attended Tech 2014 on February 25, 2014.  

Although there are over 21,000 employed people in Hamilton who have a trades certificate or apprenticeship education only 6,515 of those are women.  The ratio of men to women in the skilled trades in Hamilton is 3:1.

 

WPH supports access to the skilled trades with this guide that profiles career opportunities in demand in the Hamilton area.  To determine which occupations appeared in the guide, WPH consulted with industry partners and local employers.
