The History
The SkillsBuild project was initiated in 2017 when a post-secondary educator conducted outreach in various communities, including the Indigenous communities of Maskwacis and Enoch Cree Nation. The educator forged partnerships within the community and led small cohorts of residents to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and help others build new skills for the betterment of their communities. This process empowered individuals to emerge as leaders within their communities.
Since its inception in 2017, the SkillsBuild project has had many different approaches and has continued to evolve as a free and open process for Canadians, newcomers, and refugees across the country. It allows people an opportunity to gain and build new skills to overcome adversity and barriers.
In 2022, with assistance from our industry partners (not-for-profit, private, and government sectors), we implemented this free and open concept and successfully launched the SkillsBuild project as an online initiative. This project aims to provide Canadians with opportunities to gain skills that will allow them to obtain new employment opportunities. All this is done through self-paced online learning within a variety of fields.
