Initiated through a partnership between University College of the North and North Forge Technology Exchange, the facility (previously called North Forge North) has already run a variety of programs for seniors, elementary and high school students, as well as trades people seeking to upgrade their skills. With well over $800,000 of investment in state-of-the-art machinery, cutting-edge technology and tools, the final commissioning of the wood shop and metal working areas is now complete. A new not-for-profit organization has been created to take the facility forward, designing programs to meet the specific needs of the northern Manitoba communities and businesses. Skills Shop North is dedicated to delivering high impact programming through a variety of partnerships to support skills development, youth employment opportunities, community projects and entrepreneurship experiences.
