The RTEC Skilled Trades Association was created as a tool for workforce development and skills training. It was also developed to overcome the growing challenge of finding qualified individuals for the technical industry. The goal is to stimulate business-to-business contact and conversations, encourage collaboration and enhance partnerships.
