The annual National Apprenticeship Competition (NAC) is a chance to showcase the incredible talent of the UBC's members across the country. Competing in five categories, our apprentices show off their skills in carpentry, scaffolding, millwright, interior systems, and floor covering.NAC

This year the practical events will be hosted at the Carpenters’ Regional Council’s Training Centre and Head Office, at 830 Edgeley Blvd, Concord, Ontario.  Accommodations are located just minutes away in Vaughan, and we will supply transportation to and from the hotel to the venue site daily.
 
On September 30, the Canadian Trades Education Council (CTEC) meets for its annual day long AGM at the Event hotel and this is for all CTEC members: Training Directors and Training Coordinators and ESTs.
 
Contestants should plan to arrive by the morning or early afternoon of September 30 for registration and the evening Meet and Greet.  
 
NOTE: This years events have been moved back by a day – CTEC is now on Wednesday, the practical and written portion is Thursday and Friday and the Awards Banquet is Friday night.  Please ensure you register for each event you plan to attend.
