Description of the organization's activities:
The Canadian Skills Training and Employment Coalition (CSTEC), formerly known as Canadian Steel Trade and Employment Congress (CSTEC), the oldest of the existing sector councils, was formed in 1986 as a joint venture between the United Steelworkers (USW) and Canada’s steel producing companies. Its initial mandate was to promote joint research, lobbying and education efforts on steel trade issues. With 25 years of experience in facilitating dialogue between industry, union, educational institutions and governments, CSTEC’s mandate has continuously evolved and adapted to focus on a broad range of training issues related to workplace and essential skills training, apprenticeship and technical training, needs assessments, occupational standards, labour market information, labour adjustment and career enhancement for young people and the unemployed within the broader manufacturing sector.
