On March 20, 2026, students and apprentices from Bay Roberts joined hundreds of others from across the province for a major skills competition in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. The Annual Skilled Career Day is being held at the Prince Philip Drive campus to showcase the technical talents of young people entering the workforce.

The event is hosted by the College of the North Atlantic and features more than 300 regional finalists. These competitors include intermediate, secondary, and post-secondary students who are testing their abilities in more than 30 different trade and technology areas.

According to Skills Canada Newfoundland and Labrador, the competition provides a platform for local learners to demonstrate the skills they need for their future careers. For students who start their training through regional outreach initiatives in Bay Roberts, the event offers a chance to show their work to family, teachers, and potential employers.

Winners from this provincial event will earn a spot on Team Newfoundland and Labrador. These top-scoring individuals will then travel to represent the province at the national competition in Toronto, Ontario, on May 28-29, 2026.
