SAULT STE. MARIE, ONT. — Skills Ontario recently hosted a special event in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. to promote careers as an electrician to students at Sault College and Tenaris for Indigenous youth and young women.
The college and Tenaris were collaborating partners in the recent Tools for Success event, explained a release. Indigenous youth gathered at Tenaris to learn about the electrician trade by participating in a workshop led by Jon Pasiak, co-ordinator of electrical programs at Sault College.
After the session, participants took a tour of Tenaris and ended the day with a panel discussion. A second event for young women was held the next day.
“By trying this skilled trade, we hope youth participating in the Tools for Success event see that becoming an electrician is a rewarding career and are inspired to pursue that career further,” said Ashley Cuglietta, senior DEI manager with Skills Ontario in a statement.
“We are glad to open our doors to show participating youth the important role an electrician has in an advanced manufacturing facility such as ours,” added Martin Castro, president of Tenaris in Canada.
The event was the first Tools for Success event collaboration between Skills Ontario DE&I Initiatives and Skills Ontario Young Women’s Initiatives.
