Manitoba Construction Sector Council

About

Provincial Mandate

The Manitoba Construction Sector Council, as the industry’s human resource council, acts as a federation of its current five industry associations. In developing the future potential of the organization a new robust network of partnerships in community will enhance its capacity to meet its vision of the future.

As construction sector leaders, the MCSC has the overall responsibility and evolving scope to reflect the diverse interests of the industry, and strengthen the human resources within its network. This is accomplished by aligning itself and its products, services, and partnerships with the vision of the industry.

Funding assistance provided by the Manitoba government.

The Manitoba Construction Sector Council is a member of the Alliance of Manitoba Sector Councils (AMSC). Learn more about them here.
