Nova Scotia notes importance of helping ex-military members move to skilled trades
He said veterans from only nine military trades can automatically write the so-called red seal certification exam without further training. More work needs to be done, Smith said, to increase the number of military trades with direct access to the exam. According to the Armed Forces website, the military offers nearly 100 trades and other professional career opportunities.
“For the more technical skills of the trades, it is much more complex to assess and give credit for prior learning and experience,” he said. “The challenges of our veterans are often similar to the challenges that new Canadians and under-represented groups face.”Ottawa announces $247 million to create 25,000 apprenticeship positions across Canada
Lt.-Col. Ross Bonnell, commanding officer of the Canadian Armed Forces Transition Centre in Halifax, said 8,000 to 10,000 members leave the military each year. So far this year, 754 members have left the Armed Forces in Nova Scotia alone, Bonnell said.
