The National Association of Union Schools and Colleges (NAUSC) is incorporated as a national not for profit corporation and includes three
regional associations in the Western, Central, and Eastern areas of Canada. We represent a truly national organization that represents currently over 50,000 members and at this time 35 local union training schools and
colleges across the country.
Our mission is to provide a truly national strategy for change with a comprehensive professional development plan. This will include training opportunities for every working member, business, and training representative in our organization. Our broad range of goals and objectives include training in Apprenticeship, Safety, Education, PostJourney, Computers, and Specialty Trades Training programs to every classification of school and college we represent in the building trades construction industry. The end goal is to improve work opportunities through education and provide for a better life for the construction workforce in Canada.
In order to achieve these goals we will search for support and cooperation from all levels of government and industry, both in-kind and financial, in an effort to have joint labour/management/government initiatives improve the way our members complete work for our clients and owners in the construction industry. We will improve productivity and performance in the construction industry and this will be achieved by working closely with all of these groups at all levels of industry to implement our goals and objectives.
Our organization will support all member training centers involved in the union construction industry to help prepare these centers for development and delivery of training programs and access to infrastructure for professional development of the workforce. We will work to improve the image of the construction workforce to the public to reflect what they are; intelligent, professional and dedicated individuals who keep our country growing and without whom Canada could not continue to thrive as a country.
