The construction industry in Canada is experiencing a generational boom. Residential construction continues apace, while industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) construction is booming, a trend that is expected to continue for at least the next decade with massive government-supported investments in housing and public infrastructure. For these reasons, qualified employees are in very short supply for both administrative and project management roles, as well as the construction trades. 

​

For Indigenous peoples, the opportunity is unprecedented as more and more government-funded projects require construction companies to commit to a minimum amount of Indigenous participation on the projects, including investing in training, and employment. As a result, Indigenous peoples are in very high demand to fill positions in both Project Management and Skilled Trades roles.​ Both Project Management and Skilled Trades roles offer excellent financial remuneration and benefits, including health care and pensions.
