We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jim Lippert, SkillPlan’s first Executive Director and a long-time Board member.
Jim’s many contributions, dedication and commitment to SkillPlan over 30+ years helped lay the foundation for who we are today. We are deeply grateful for all he has done and for the lasting impact he made on SkillPlan and the unionized construction industry.
His leadership shaped not only an organization, but a community rooted in opportunity, learning and solidarity. Those who worked alongside Jim remember his steady guidance. His impact continues to be felt in the work we do every day.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family, friends and all who were touched by his life and leadership.
We honour his legacy with gratitude and will carry it forward in our work.
Construction is evolving, with ongoing demand for housing, infrastructure and industrial development across Canada.
In many regions, finding skilled workers remains a challenge.
That's where SkillPlan comes in. We work with industry to help strengthen the workforce – supporting workers as they enter and progress through apprenticeships, complete technical training, earn their Red Seal and succeed on the job.
And the results speak for themselves.
Let's work together. Start building a customized training program for your organization ➡️ SkillPlan.ca
