Connecting with the Next Generation of Skilled Tradespeople at Northwestern Polytechnic
October 14, 2026 | Grande Prairie, AB
We were back at Northwestern Polytechnic (NWP) for another Skilled Trades Lunch, bringing students together for some good food, great conversations, and a chance to connect outside the classroom.
--
Through our partnership with Northwestern Polytechnic and the CDN Electrical Education Centre, we're proud to support the next generation of skilled tradespeople. These lunches give us a chance to catch up with students, hear about their experiences, and learn more about where they're headed in the trades.
Our team was on site to answer questions and chat with students about opportunities in the electrical and instrumentation industry.
A big thanks to NWP for helping make another lunch happen, and to all the students who stopped by. We're already looking forward to the next one!
