The skilled trades provide amazing opportunities – so too, does graphic design. We are merging the two worlds through a contest! We are looking for infographic submissions.

There are 49 designated trades and 20 sub-trades in Saskatchewan, and terrific reasons to work in each trade. We’d like to share that information.

We are inviting the public to submit infographic designs that promote the skilled trades, to build your graphic design portfolio and win a prize!

Topic / Trade

Below are links to the information and data available for each trade. Each trade is a separate contest. More trades will be made available as we continue with the project. Through each link you will find information, and ideas. You may use additional icons, stock photos or photography  as long as you provide the copyright/credit information. We will not reimburse you for any additional photos purchased. If you require photos, please contact us and we will determine if we have any photos available in our library for your use.

The winner will be asked to add Saskatchewan Apprenticeship’s logo to the infographic.
