Canada, Ontario and Sudbury are facing a shortage of skilled workers. Trading Skills is a new program on TVO for kids. It explores important careers that include apprenticeships and “earn as you learn” opportunities. In Episode 7 of the new series, Akeylah James is in Sudbury and meets up with Kendra Liinamaa. Liinamaa is a mining millwright and loves her trade and all its challenges and rewards. Here, James helps fix a water pump before learning what it’s like to work underground. Supplied photo
