Skilled trades platforms

Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.
We don't have any Liberal policies on Skilled trades.

PC

  • Provide $2K a tax credit for rotational workers who have to pay out-of-pocket to work in other provinces
  • Require all public infrastructure projects of over $500K in value to employ at least 10% apprentices

    "Introducing a requirement that any public infrastructure projects of over $500,000 in value including schools, hospitals, long-term care facilities, prisons and correctional facilities, will be required to employ a minimum of 10% apprentices." — pcnl.ca, retrieved 2025-10-06

  • Change apprenticeship policy so that, upon completion of primary training, all apprentices automatically receive their log books
  • Start a high school pre-apprenticeship programme to let students explore and prepare for careers in the skilled trades

    "Expand skilled trades programs with a high school pre-apprenticeship program. High school students will be given the opportunity to explore and prepare for careers in the skilled trades." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

NDP

  • Invest $10M/year to expand seats in high-demand trades programmes at the College of the North Atlantic

    "We’ll invest $10 million in new annual funding for the College of the North Atlantic – expanding seats in high-demand trades programs to train more skilled workers and meet the needs of a growing economy." — A Better Deal for People in Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-09-27
