career ahead of them to help fill gaps in Canada’s labour force. “In partnership with construction trade unions, governments and industry, H2H streamlines the pathways to apprenticeship, advanced training and career placement opportunities in the unionized construction industry with registered employers who support the men and women who have served our country.” The H2H program continues to expand its efforts to raise awareness about careers in the skilled trades to Veterans across Canada. In 2021, H2H hired outreach specialists to better connect with the women and 2SLGBTQ2+ Veteran community and just recently added another outreach worker who will focus on communicating and facilitating skilled trades opportunities with Indigenous Veterans and youth (associated with the Cadet or Junior Canadian Ranger Programs). H2H wants to ensure that every Veteran, no matter who they are or their personal circumstances, is able to access its services and find rewarding careers in the skilled trades without having to deal with barriers to employment. ABORIGINAL VETERANS AUTOCHTONES (AVA) On top of their ongoing outreach initiatives, H2H and Aboriginal Veterans Autochtones (AVA) joined forces with a MOU ensuring Indigenous Veterans across Canada are aware of careers available in the skilled trades. 41 OCT 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
