The Manitoba Construction Sector Council (MCSC) is a vital organization dedicated to workforce development in Manitoba’s construction industry. It operates as a federation of industry and Indigenous advocacy associations, focusing on addressing skill gaps and labor shortages. MCSC collaborates with construction companies, educational institutions, and government bodies to create targeted training programs that foster a skilled and adaptable workforce.

MCSC offers a variety of services, including training programs that lead to micro-credentials and apprenticeship opportunities. These programs are often fully funded and aim to enhance industry-specific skills. The organization also provides skill upgrading for current employees, employment placement services for over 150 individuals annually, and initiatives to promote workplace culture and professional development. MCSC engages with various stakeholders, including construction companies, educational institutions, and community members, particularly those from underrepresented groups, to support diversity in the workforce.
