The CWB Association is thrilled to collaborate with Skills/Compétences Canada on a special podcast series. This year, we are excited to interview the Skills Canada Executive Directors from across Canada. Tune in as we explore their skills journey and commitment to promoting skilled trades in their provinces and territories!

When Chris Browton, Executive Director of Skills Canada Alberta, first started in 2001, the organization had only a staff of five employees, and has evolved to reaching over 40,000 youth annually and consistently producing world-class trades competitors. Competition drives excellence, and Skills Alberta has built a sophisticated progression system dividing the province into nine regions, each anchored by a post-secondary institution. This structure creates a pipeline where talent rises through regional and provincial competitions before representing Alberta nationally. But beyond competitions, the organization has expanded into widespread programming, including their trademarked "Try a Trade" experiences.
