The CWB Association is thrilled to collaborate with Skills/Compétences Canada on a special podcast series. This year, we are excited to interview the Skills Canada Executive Directors from across Canada. Tune in as we explore their skills journey and commitment to promoting skilled trades in their provinces and territories!

Discover the hidden powerhouse of skills development on Canada's smallest province with Tawna MacLeod, Executive Director of Skills Canada PEI for 16 years, shares the remarkable transformation that has seen provincial competition participation grow from 68 to 320 competitors across 35 different trades and technology areas. Tawna's journey began unexpectedly in 2009 when she stepped in as interim director just months before PEI hosted nationals. What started as a temporary position became a lifelong passion fueled by the incredible young people she's worked with. "It's the kids," she explains, reflecting on what keeps her motivated through the challenges of running a non-profit organization where she wears "14 different hats" daily.
