通过“采纳车间”计划，本地企业正在与学校合作，为参加车间课程的学生提供动手学习机会和真实世界的接触。该计划旨在加强行业与教育之间的联系，同时支持艾伯塔省的职业和技术课程（CTS）以及职业和技术基础（CTF）课程。 

“这是为学生打开大门，同时帮助企业投资于其员工未来的事业，”卡尔加里建筑协会的总裁兼首席执行官比尔·布莱克说道。“我们一起为年轻人在熟练工行业探索有意义职业机会努力奠定更好的机会。” 

行业合作伙伴正在加大力度“采纳”在建筑行业和其他熟练工方面的学校车间。作为采纳的一部分，企业将提供财政支持以及木材等实物捐赠。  

卡尔加里教育委员会的领导者们对该试点表示欢迎，认为这是学校与熟练工行业通过卡尔加里建筑协会长期合作的有前景的第一步。 

卡尔加里教育委员会的首席监事乔安妮·皮特曼表示：“这是一个加强熟工教育的令人兴奋的机会，我们对其发展潜力感到乐观。” 
“这样的伙伴关系促进了我们为年轻人未来的工作做好准备的承诺，并帮助将学习带入生活。 
 
“当学生看到他们的技能在现实世界中的应用，这加深了他们的参与度，并帮助他们想象毕业后可能发生的事情。” 

试点地点和项目 

与“采纳车间”试点计划相关的熟工教育因学校而异，包括建筑和建筑行业、焊接和金属制作、电气布线、汽车修理、设计思维和机械等选项。

Through the Adopt-a-Shop program, local businesses are working with schools to provide hands-on learning opportunities and real-world exposure to students enrolled in shop classes. The program aims to strengthen connections between industry and education, while supporting Alberta’s Career and Technology Studies (CTS) and Career and Technology Foundations (CTF) curriculums. 

“This is about opening doors for students while helping businesses invest in the future of their workforce,” said Bill Black, President and CEO of the Calgary Construction Association. “Together, we’re building better opportunities for young people to explore rewarding careers in the trades.” 

Industry partners are stepping up to “adopt” school shops in building trades and construction programs, and other skilled trades. As part of the adoption, businesses will provide financial support along with in-kind donations such as lumber.  

Leaders from the CBE are welcoming the pilot as a promising first step toward long-term collaboration between schools and the skilled trades sector through the Calgary Construction Association. 

“It’s an exciting opportunity to strengthen trades education, and we’re optimistic about its potential to grow,” said Joanne Pitman, Chief Superintendent, Calgary Board of Education.  
“Partnerships like this advance our commitment to preparing young people for their future of work and help bring learning to life. 
 
“When students see how their skills apply in the real world, it deepens their engagement and helps them imagine what’s possible after graduation.” 

Pilot Sites and Programs 

Trades education, offered in connection with the Adopt-A-Shop pilot program, varies by school, with options such as construction and building trades, welding and fabrication and electrical wiring, as well as autobody, design thinking and mechanics. 
 
The Adopt-a-Shop pilot is currently underway at the following CBE schools: Bowness High School, Career & Technology Centre (CTC) and Central Memorial High School, Crescent Heights High School, Jack James High School, Georges P. Vanier School, Wilma Hansen School. ​

How to Get Involved 

The CCA is inviting more industry partners to take part by: 

• Donating building materials, safety equipment or funds 

• Adopting a school shop and collaborating with teachers 

• Supporting learning through demonstrations, career talks and classroom visits
