Three students from Assiniboine have struck gold at the 27th annual Skills Manitoba competition and will move on to compete at Skills Canada in Regina, Saskatchewan in May 2025.
"Skills Manitoba offers students the chance to put their classroom learning into real-world practice," said Jim DeGraeve, Acting Dean of Trades and Team Assiniboine lead. "We look forward to this event every year - it fills the college with pride to see our students thrive in this environment, and It's inspiring to witness the growing number of participants, medalists, and those advancing to represent our college on the national stage."
Throughout the province, 475 high school, post-secondary and apprenticeship students competed in 42 skilled trades and technology contests at this year's Skills Manitoba event and the gold medal winners will form Team Manitoba to compete against their peers at the Skills Canada Competition to be held in Regina in May 2025.
