More people will now be able to train for jobs as automotive technicians, millwrights, and welders on the Lower Mainland through a new Community and Employer Partnerships (CEP) project funded by the province.
“Skilled tradespeople are in high demand, so we’re removing barriers to skills training,” said Sheila Malcolmson, minister of social development and poverty reduction. “We’re funding Red Seal certification so people can secure good jobs in their communities.”
Ace Trades and Technical Institute (ATTI) is receiving more than $560,000 to deliver the automotive technicians, millwrights and welders training project on the Lower Mainland.
“ATTI is excited to provide participants with training that leads to technical skills, certification and practical experience that employers in the trades sector are looking for,” said Supneet Chawla, founder and chief executive officer, ATTI. “This program supports people to achieve their trades-certification goals and gain the practical skills required to excel in their future careers.”
Participants will receive 10 weeks of essential employment and technical skills training, four weeks of work experience with local employers, and one week of followup support to prepare participants for work.
The first intake of full-time in-class training starts April 3, 2023. The second intake will begin July 4 and third intake on Oct. 16. Anyone interested in finding out more about this or other CEP projects can contact their local WorkBC centre.
This announcement is part of StrongerBC’s Future Ready plan, which is making education and training more accessible, affordable and relevant to help businesses grow and prepare British Columbians for the jobs of tomorrow.
