Starting a career in the skilled trades through apprenticeship is one of the best decisions you can make in Saskatchewan.

Apprenticeship combines on-the-job training with technical education, allowing you to earn while you learn. You work alongside experienced tradespeople, gain real skills on actual job sites, and progress through your training at a structured pace. When you complete your apprenticeship, you earn a recognized certification that opens doors across the province and beyond.

In Saskatchewan, apprenticeships are available in dozens of trades, from electrical and plumbing to heavy equipment operation, carpentry, welding, and more. You don't need a university degree to build a successful career. You need skills, commitment, and the willingness to learn.

Open shop contractors across Saskatchewan are invested in apprenticeship training. They hire apprentices, provide mentorship, and create opportunities for people to build long-term careers in construction. Merit Saskatchewan supports apprentices through bursaries, resources, and advocacy to make sure the apprenticeship system works for both workers and employers.

If you're considering the trades or want to learn more about how apprenticeship works in Saskatchewan, Merit has the resources you need.

There's a myth that open shop means anti-worker. That's not true.

Open shop is about choice, not taking anything away. Open shop workers earn competitive wages, have access to benefits, training, and strong safety standards. Merit members invest heavily in their people because that's how you build good companies and strong careers.

Why should the average Saskatchewan resident care? Because construction touches everyone. Open shop keeps projects on budget, on schedule, and locally delivered. It means more Saskatchewan companies working, more people employed, and more dollars staying in the province.

Open shop isn't about being against anything. It's about giving workers and contractors the freedom to succeed.

Quorex Construction is building Saskatchewan.

From schools and heritage sites to co-ops and community facilities, Quorex has been delivering commercial, institutional, and industrial projects across the province for years. Based in Saskatoon and Regina, they're a locally owned company committed to quality, organization, and results.

Their approach is simple: teamwork builds quality. And it shows in the projects they've completed, from Wanuskewin Heritage Park to schools in Onion Lake and Gravelbourg, to co-op facilities across rural Saskatchewan.

Quorex is a proud Merit Saskatchewan member, and we're proud to have them as part of the open shop construction community.
