NAIT opens massive Trades training expansion

Yet another indicator that the trades are booming:

"The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, which trains half of Alberta's apprentices and 20 per cent of those in all of Canada, threw open the doors on state-of-the art training facilities Tuesday that will see capacity for instrumentation apprentices grow by more than 60 per cent and by 25 per cent for millwright apprentices.

The $39.6-million NAIT Spartan Centre for Instrumentation Technology and Petro-Canada Centre for Millwright Technology officially opened with a ceremony featuring the Loyal Edmonton Regiment Blacklight Drum Line."

Pretty mind boggling to think of the measures the province and post-secondary schools are going to in an attempt to solve teh Alberta Labour crisis, specifically in the trades.
