Poor 2020 apprenticeship numbers not unexpected say stakeholders

Economic, Labour Don Wall January 14, 2021 National construction industry stakeholders are not ready to sound alarm bells despite data showing that apprenticeship registration numbers dropped precipitously during 2020. Statistics Canada reported in December that preliminary apprenticeship registration numbers for 2020 indicate that new registrations and certifications in the trades saw large drops from February to September 2020 compared with the same period in 2019. Registrations fell 43 per cent while certifications dropped 49.7 per cent. Year over year, April saw the biggest decreases in the number of new registrations, down 71.2 per cent from a year earlier. Compared with 2019, certifications reached their lowest point in June, down 76.4 per cent.

Construction coalition plans campaign to end on-the-job harassment of women, minorities

By Don McIntosh Culture change is coming. At least, that’s the goal of a broad construction industry coalition that’s begun to meet monthly to talk about ending racial and sexual harassment on Portland-area construction job sites. Conceived last summer after a noose incident on a downtown Portland construction site, the Safe From Hate effort brings together union leaders, general contractors, public agency construction project owners, trade groups, and pre-apprentice training program leaders. More than 60 of them took part in a Dec. 3 Zoom meeting, the group’s third monthly summit, and firmed up a steering committee with representatives from each sector. The goal outlined in a job site culture pledge is to cultivate a respectful workplace, safe from hate, racism, sexism, discrimination, harassment, and bullying.
