The CWB Association has had the honor of working with Skills/Compétences Canada on a special Podcast Series interviewing members of the National Alumni Committee (NAC) from each province and territory to share their Skills journey. Every year, hundreds of Canadian youth participate in the Skills Canada National Competition and become alumni of their programs. The NAC was formed to create, support, and provide guidance to the Skills Canada provincial and territorial Alumni Associations across the country.

Today’s guest is Amiel Hernandez, a Public Health Nurse in Iqaluit, Nunavut. Amiel was first introduced to Skills Canada while attending high school in 2013. Her homeroom teacher at the time ran their school’s skills club for hairstyling and baking. She decided to join the baking club because as a young child, Amiel was always amazed with how pastry chefs created desserts that were aesthetically pleasing and delicious. Recently, she has reconnected with Skills Nunavut to help support young Nunavummiut in discovering, and developing their interest for the trades.
