Highly skilled graduates
With more than 40 years of tapping into the needs of industry to deliver training that makes a substantial contribution to the labour force in Canada, it is a natural fit for CNA to provide the country with highly skilled graduates in a wide variety of fields. When Newfoundland and Labrador's Department of Education established a task force to increase the numbers of skilled workers, CNA responded by expanding program offerings such as construction/industrial electrical, plumber, and heavy equipment operator, among others.
There has been a greater push on encouraging more women to train for a career in the skilled trades. CNA encourages women to avail of such programs as Career Exploration for Women and Orientation to Trades and Technology, which lead to enrolment in regular programming and success in highly lucrative careers.
And in a precedent-setting partnership with the Canadian Department of National Defence, CNA is now training Canada's military in paramedicine, vehicle technician and culinary arts.
With the depth and breadth of post-secondary education at College of the North Atlantic, CNA is sure to have a place for every student.
