THE
TRADES
GUILD

Partners
The most important skill we provide to our students is the ability to function under urgency and pressure, to step-up and meet deadlines.
Skill alone is not enough, pride in ones work and a "can-do" attitude are the traits employers look for.
We have in the past and continue to receive overwhelming support from the Calgary business community.
Having the ability to secure substantial mill work and construction contracts allows us to maintain maximum productivity in our shop.
While sharing these contracts with our industry partners such as supplies, contractors and mill work shops.
