The Manufactured Housing Study will profile the companies operating in this industry in Atlantic Canada and the products they produce. The report will also assess the unique labour and skill requirements of the industry and identify models for recruitment and training that are currently underway and proposed for the future.

The Industry Training Program for 07/08 is being coordinated and delivered by the Atlantic Home Warranty Program. To learn more about the courses being offered in 07/08 and to reach the new Industry Training Coordinator, Sandy Martin please go to www.ahwp.org.
