The Canadian Skills Training and Employment Coalition (CSTEC) helps individuals find training that fits
their experience, goals, and employment opportunities. We do not deliver our own courses, which allows us to focus
on finding the right pathway for each person.

We work with community colleges, trusted private career colleges, and other institutions that offer industrial training. Our guidance is grounded in established career pathways and the skills employers need.
We focus on training with lasting value, including industrial trades training, programs that lead toward apprenticeship, and practical skills training valued by manufacturers, utilities, contractors, and employers in defence and mining.
