The Building Futures for Youth program has been developed as a partnership between CANS; NS Department of Education-English Program Services; NS Department of Labour and Advanced Education-Apprenticeship Division; the Nova Scotia Community College and local school boards. The program provides Grade 10 & 11 students with an opportunity to explore careers in the construction industry.

“Building Futures for Youth formed the foundation of my career. I now know exactly which direction I’m going, and nothing can stop me from getting there. My name is Eric Gould, and I am going to become a crane service technician.”

“I speak for all members of our workplace, we all enjoyed and benefited from our experience with Building Futures for Youth.”
