A vital part of the skilled trades and technology education and training is teaching the nine skills for success (formerly essential skills) and today is #SkillsforSuccessDay. These nine skills include numeracy, oral communication, working with others, continuous learning, reading text, writing, thinking, document use, and digital skills. Together they provide a solid foundation for the tools for success – no matter what career path you choose. This year creativity and innovative thinking are being highlighted. Thinking is at the core of everything we do, every day but I’m also continually looking for and trying new products and techniques that are created by the latest in innovations and advancements. Together, creativity and innovation in technology and new products will help make the building industry better, safer and healthier for all. For more information

Remember, your deck and other structures are getting hammered by the elements year-round. If you don’t take care of these structures properly, you’re going to find that they begin to fail and wear out a lot sooner than they should.
