Mentorship
For mentorship success stories, click here.
The construction industry is expected to lose hundreds of thousands of skilled tradespeople to retirement over the next decade, creating a major need for rapid skills development.
The act of mentorship has long been recognized as an effective means of knowledge transfer that would benefit the industry. Mentors not only pass on their knowledge and experience but are also responsible for planning and guiding the learning process for apprentices.
Canada’s Building Trades Mentorship Alliance (CBTMA) aims to deliver effective, innovative and inclusive mentorship strategies and education training options to Canada’s Building Trades Unions’ affiliated members, their signatory contractors and other potential clients.
Canada’s Building Trades Mentorship Alliance is a collaborative initiative of Canada’s Building Trades Unions (CBTU) and their Mentorship Alliance partners:
- NB-MAP
- MENTORSHIP MATTERS™
MEMBERS AND SIGNATORY CONTRACTORS WILL RECEIVE A 50% REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAIN THE TRAINER FEES.
