Attracting Talent

Attract is one of the four pillars of Supply-Build Canada, but what does it actually mean? This is how we draw people to the industry in order to keep building a future together.

It’s also what we do to keep those who have chosen to join us growing and thriving once they’ve made the jump. We attract new faces by setting up career fairs and the job board, so that we can make meaningful connections with job seekers and organizations that support job seekers to be sure you always have a candidate pool.

We attract new faces and support existing employees by offering scholarships, to our members and beyond, to help remove barriers that might keep people from growing in the industry. We attract those wanting to jump into the industry by providing internship opportunities in order to set up both the existing team and the interns for success. And we offer HR resources to not only create your ideal team but also keep them happy and thriving.

All that, and we are just getting started! The ways we attract will only continue to diversify and grow based on your needs and feedback.

Internships, Scholarships and Grants

Internships

Internships are a great way for individuals to gain experience in the industry and for employers to refine their onboarding and determine if someone is a good fit prior to committing to a permanent hire.

Scholarships

Investing in the future can take many shapes, but one of the ways we approach it at Supply-Build Canada is by supporting those pursuing further education. Supply-Build Canada is proud to offer several scholarship opportunities for those wanting to build their careers in the Building Materials Industry.

Grants

While every province handles funding grants differently, most provinces will have some sort of program to subsidize employee training either in whole or in part. We've provided a hub to get you started.

Career Fairs

In addition to the various events that we offer our members throughout the year we also have a variety of other events throughout the year which are accessible to all. These include career fairs as well as factory tours and other community events.
