Niagara Peninsula Homes Construction Programs Division

On behalf of everyone involved at the NPH REACH Innovation Youth Construction Program, we congratulate all our recent graduates and wish them every success on their career paths in the skilled trades. As we end our most recent 4 year contract with Canada (ESDC, Youth Employment and Skills Strategy), I want to personally thank all of you for supporting us in this venture. I also wish to thank Canada for directly supporting this program, and all of our amazing community partners without whom we would not be able to provide the successful outcomes we have. Those partners include; John Howard Society/Job Gym (Amanda and team), YMCA Employment and Immigration Services (particular shout out to Kelly Jones and the Power of Trades team), Sean Porter and Metabo HPT team, Claire and Nora at the Welland Firehall Restoration Project team, Dana and Barb at NCDSB, Doug, Sarah and Taylor at Canadian Safety Group, Emily and Aisha at Apprenticesearch.com, Terri Jackson our success coach and counsellor, Don Cormier (Doncor) our website developer, Ralph and team at Battlefield Rentals, Brad and Julie at Castle Building Supplies, Terry and Sheri at Rona Welland, Andrea and the team at Tools in the Trades, Jesse at Rapid Response First Aid, Jennifer at Atlas Tools, Miles Smith Electrical, Justin Humphreys Masonry, Joe Warner at Centennial Construction, Niagara College, all our local employers, our volunteers (shout out to Lexx and John in particular), and all those in the community who continue to support us. We are taking some time away over the summer and will announce new projects and programs for the end of 2024 and into 2025. On behalf of myself and my team at REACH Innovation, thank you for your support and as always....please continue to watch this space.
Wishing You All A Very Happy Summer.
