Trade Connect NR could be a great way to help students prepare for the real world. A digital profile in the database would allow students to:

• Showcase Their Skills & Training – They can highlight their coursework, apprenticeships, certifications and any hands-on experience they’ve gained at school.

• Connect with Employers & Tradespeople – They’ll have direct exposure to local subcontractors, suppliers and potential employers, making networking easier.

• Find Apprenticeship & Job Opportunities – Tradespeople and businesses searching for apprentices or entry-level workers could reach out to them directly.

• Gain Confidence in their Career Path – Seeing their profile alongside experienced tradespeople can help them feel part of the industry and motivated to continue.

• Learn How to Present Themselves Professionally – Creating a profile teaches them to market their skills, upload relevant work, and communicate professionally.

Many students interested in trades don’t have LinkedIn or a structured way to present themselves online. Trade Connect NR could fill that gap by offering them a trade-specific platform that connects them with real-world opportunities. Career advisors could use this platform as a useful tool to give students a head start in their careers by introducing them to a platform designed for their industry.
