SCNC is the only national, multi-trade and technology competition for students and apprentices in the country. The goal of the competition is to encourage students and apprentices to excel in their chosen skilled trade or technology, and to create awareness of the many incredible career opportunities that are available to youth. SCNC 2022 is being hosted in person for the first time since 2019 due to the pandemic. This year, the post-secondary and the Team Canada Selection Category competitions will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre on May 26 and 27. These two categories include more than 300 competitors from across Canada who will participate in over 35 skilled trade and technology competitions.
