We have had great success thus far working with STSC and have retained some very good employees…
“We would like to send a huge Thank You to the team at Saskatoon Trades and Skills Centre. We have had great success thus far working with STSC and have retained some very good employees from their Commercial & Industrial Sandblasting & Painting class along with some of the other trade courses they run. Having new employees join our team with all the safety training that is required along with a positive attitude definitely helps us get our work-force onsite quicker not to mention the service STSC is providing various communities in the Saskatoon Area. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Saskatoon Trades and Skills Centre.”
Ryan Squires, Park Derochie Coatings Saskatchewan Inc., October 2015[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]These people truly care about the work they do and the service they provide…
“As a small business in Saskatoon, the challenge to find skilled labour is always evident. Competition is fierce and quality workers rarely surface. Our partnership with Saskatoon trades and skills has bridged that gap for us. These students are given training and skills in relevant fields. This cuts down my initial cost of acquisition for new employees as I no longer need to provide them with these skills or this training. Working with ST&S and their team is always a fun and motivational experience. These people truly care about the work they do and the service they provide. They continue to update, communicate and regurgitate anything relevant to keeping companies like ours happy. For this we are forever grateful.”
