The University College of the North is launching a new online training series this spring to help construction and business professionals in The Pas, Manitoba. Starting on March 19, 2026, the program will provide local contractors and project managers with tools to better manage their businesses and win more local jobs.
The virtual sessions will cover important topics like how to write winning project proposals and how to handle trade contracts. Participants will also learn about construction law specifically for building on reserve lands and how to manage the risks involved with insurance and bonding.
The series is broken into several different sessions that run through April 9, 2026. Professional presenters for the course include Lee Kelly, Debbie Hicks, and Meghan Ross, who will lead discussions on legal and business strategies.
Because the training is offered online, people working in the industry across northern Manitoba can join without having to travel. The goal of the program is to help local companies compete more effectively for complex regional building projects by improving their professional skills.
