Skilled Trades College (STC) announced a new multi-year partnership with DEWALT, a Stanley Black & Decker brand. This collaboration establishes DEWALT as the official power tool partner of STC, enhancing hands-on training and career readiness for aspiring tradespeople across Canada. Under this multi-year agreement, DEWALT will provide students at all STC campuses with access to professional-grade tools and equipment used by industry professionals every day.
The partnership will also include bursary opportunities, product donations, and exclusive student initiatives aimed at reducing barriers for individuals entering the skilled trades. In addition to product integration within STC's pre-apprenticeship and technical programs, DEWALT will also be retrofitting all STC campuses with a full suite of their equipment, ensuring students train exclusively with tools. Together, STC and DEWALT aim to strengthen Canada's skilled trades workforce by combining world-class training with tools.
This collaboration builds on STC's ongoing commitment to elevating the trades industry through meaningful brand and talent partnerships. Over the past couple of years, STC has launched innovative initiatives with MMA legend Georges St-Pierre (GSP), UFC athletes Jasmine Jasudavicius and Michael Malott, and NBA star Scottie Barnes -- alongside national brands like CIBC and RONA, to fund bursaries, expand access, and drive cultural relevance for the skilled trades. The partnership will include campus branding, co-branded events, and social media campaigns to engage students and celebrate success stories from across the college network.
