PCL Construction has joined That Could Be Me as Lead Sponsor, helping support a new initiative aimed at strengthening awareness of careers in the Canadian Skilled Trades and addressing the country’s ongoing labour shortage. The partnership brings together PCL Construction and Stature Films to create a documentary-style educational video series aiming to inspire more Canadian youth to consider a career in Skilled Trades.
PCL’s support reflects a practical investment in workforce development at a time when Canada continues to face persistent skilled trades shortages, including the need to replace retiring workers and fill critical roles across the industry. The uniquely 100% employee-owned company has publicly emphasized the importance of supporting trade education and youth engagement initiatives as part of a broader effort to build the next generation of workers.
“This is a very big priority for PCL, getting more young people into these incredible, rewarding careers. The skilled labour shortage affects all of us and we need to act immediately to fix it,” said Chris Gower, PCL’s President and CEO.
