DC Skills Trades Showcase | Invest in skills. Invest in students.


Skills Ontario is an impactful platform for career exploration, hands-on learning, and skilled trades competitions. Each year, students connect with industry professionals, gain mentorship, build practical experience, and develop the in-demand skills needed for today’s workforce

For Durham College (DC) students, Skills Ontario represents more than a competition—it’s an opportunity to showcase their talent, dedication, and craftsmanship across multiple skilled trades



Why This Fundraiser Matters

This fundraiser directly supports Durham College students competing at Skills Ontario. Funds raised will help cover essential costs such as:

  • Travel and accommodations

Your support helps students focus on what matters most—building confidence, refining their skills, and representing Durham College with pride.
