Volunteers
VOLUNTEER TODAY!
Skills Canada Alberta prides itself on the fact that volunteers are the core of our organization. Each year Skills Canada Alberta hosts the Provincial Skills Competition thanks to the support of over 350 volunteers. The event is made possible, in large part, because of the commitment and generosity of people like you who volunteer their time. Skills Canada Alberta appreciates our volunteers and wants to make your volunteer experience unforgettable. We invite you to be a part of our team!
In 2009, we will host the Provincial Skills Competition and Canadian Skills Competition at the Agricom, Northlands Park, Edmonton. The Olympic-style competition will welcome 10,000 high school students, apprentices, teachers, post secondary candidates and the general public. Download our 2008 Volunteer Application.

PROVINCIAL TECHNICAL COMMITTEES
Each of the events are overseen by volunteers from the private, government and educational sectors that have a specific expertise in their particular fields. In most cases, the Provincial Technical Committees will consist of a chairperson and 3-5 committee members. All committee members are encouraged to seek support of their membership from their employers.
The ideal committee will have members from education (secondary and post-secondary) and industry, as well as representatives from the appropriate association, labour union or body that establishes its national training standards. Each committee will have a chairperson who corresponds with the national committee regarding the event. If you would like to join a Provincial Technical Committee, contact us at haleys@skillscanada.com or 780.493.2637.
With your help Skills Canada Alberta will continue to create experiences that benefit our provinces’ youth. We thank you, in advance, for your consideration to volunteer with our organization.
