Provincial Technical Committee
The Provincial Skills Canada Competition is a collection of contests in the skilled trades and technologies for high school and post-secondary students.
Each competition area is comprised of Provincial Technical Committee (PTC) members from across the province that work together to plan and execute their specific competition area. PTC Members are comprised of members from education (secondary and post-secondary), labor, industry and government. Members must have formal education and training to be part of a PTC for their specific competition area, i.e. tradesperson certification, diploma, etc. PTC’s are responsible for the creation of projects, exams, set up, tear down, logistics and the overall management of their competition. Each committee has a chairperson who acts as lead for their competition area.
