ATTITUDES ARE CHANGING ABOUT THE TRADES
According to new data released by the Industry Training Authority, highschool students are changing some of their attitudes about careers in the trades, but there is still more work to be done. A recent survey of students reports that 60% of students see the trades as interesting and lucrative careers but 70% still believe jobs in the trades lack prestige and are based more on physical labour than brainpower.
While more work can be done to educate youth about the specifics of trades careers, the same research shows more youth than ever are considering these occupations. The percentage of high-school students planning to pursue a trades program or apprenticeship has roughly doubled over the past three to four years to 18%. When Grades 10 to 12 are considered by themselves, that figure rises to 19.5 %.
Do tradespeople really make better wages? According to the most recent data:
Electricians working on federal construction projects in the Vancouver area earn $26.20 an hour.
Plumbers and related welders working on federal building projects earn $25.49.
Sheet-metal workers make $25.90.
Pipefitters and steamfitters make $26.76.
Roofers make $21.92.
Refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics earn $30.65.

DAWSON CREEK ENJOYS EVEN GREATER PROSPERITY
For years, Dawson Creek has been enjoying the oil and gas boom but with Encana’s record $400 million purchase of oil and gas drilling rights on a 362,000-hectare property, a couple of hours drive north of the city, the shortage of labour seems to be peaking again. This past summer a new Best Western hotel opened and the restaurant in the hotel couldn’t begin operating just because they couldn’t find anyone to work in it.
According to the BMO Financial Group, oil and gas services will rank as Canada’s fastest growing industry in 2006/2007. And while this is creating a exciting employment climate in B.C.’s northeast, local employers want to make it clear that they are looking for people who will take the work seriously and are prepared to work hard.
Allan Armstrong, who manages PC Oilfield Supply, wants prospective workers to know they are expected to be on call, from when they wake-up until they go to sleep at night. “I think on average, everybody is working 120-130 hours in a two-week period,” Armstrong says. “For the most part, our people have a fairly high level of ambition. If you’re going to be putting in the hours and the days that we do, you have to have that drive or you’re not going to survive.”
