The committee will meet monthly and discuss issues affecting the Skilled Trades such as:

Technology based solutions.
-
Upgrading core competencies and training.
-
Utilization of the Skilled Trades.
-
Communication of future work or installations.
-
Outsourcing and subcontracting activities.

Apprenticeship opportunities based on future attrition, to maintain a viable succession plan.
