About TTG Youth Outreach
TTG’s programming and outreach for youth is unique and offers a potential long-term solution to the skilled trades shortages in our local economy. Our overall goal is to reposition skilled trades as a credible/valid career option in the minds of youth and their parents.
TTG understands that the importance of being exposed to experiential learning opportunities at an early age can often be the key to inspiring young people to sign up for tech studies in high school. This kind of exposure can also help start discussions with their families about possible trades-focused career paths in the future.
TTG’s youth engagement initiatives are delivered with community partners such as the Avon Maitland District School Board, Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board, Huron and Perth County Economic Development, local service providers, businesses, and industry organizations.
TTG provides a wide range of activities and experiences that introduce youth to the skilled trades, which can be found in the above tabs.
Building the skills for tomorrow’s workforce is a shared responsibility. These types of innovative and interactive tools and programming will help TTG, along with our community partners, to continue to generate engaging and meaningful discussions about the potential for in-demand careers in the skilled trades in our communities.

About the Virtual Welders Experience
To help engage and connect with youth about the skilled trades, TTG purchased a VRTEX® Engage™ Virtual Welder, generously supported by funding provided by the Stratford Perth Community Foundation (the Melanson Family Fund) and the Libro Prosperity fund.
TTG also recently purchased a highly portable Miller MobileArc Augmented Reality Welding System from Huronia Welding.
These virtual welders provide an opportunity to experience a highly engaging and two distinctly different and interactive simulations of the welding process in almost any setting.
They require no welding or safety equipment to operate and is suitable for all ages and skill levels.
