What we do:

At Skilled Trades College of Canada (STC) we’re redefining how people discover careers in the skilled trades. Our mission is bigger than education, we’re building a movement that inspires the next generation of electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and trade professionals.

We believe our brand should feel the same everywhere someone experiences it, whether they’re scrolling through Instagram, watching a TikTok, walking through our campus, or visiting our website. Every touchpoint should communicate ambition, energy, authenticity, and opportunity.

You will own the creation and execution of dynamic content across social media platforms and digital channels, helping shape how the world sees Skilled Trades College (STC).
