What's New

We are proud to announce the launch of the Union Ready Grant—a new initiative designed to support students pursuing careers in the skilled trades. This grant is specifically tailored for individuals entering trade schools, registered apprenticeships, or union training programs.

Unlike traditional scholarships, the Union Ready Grant focuses on helping students cover essential startup costs such as tools, books, union dues, and certification fees. By removing financial barriers, we aim to empower the next generation of trades professionals and strengthen our local workforce.

The Union Ready Grant is open to high school seniors, recent graduates, and adult learners who are committed to building a career in the trades. Whether you're training to become an electrician, plumber, welder, or mechanic—this grant is here to help you get started.

We will be giving away five $1,000 grants.

Applications will be available January 2nd.
