Apprenticeship Recognition Month

Nov 1, 2021 | 4:26 PM

BRITISH COLUMBIA – B.C.’s trades apprentices are being celebrated and recognized for their contributions to the province and economy.

“There are wonderful benefits to a career in the trades and Apprenticeship Recognition Month is an opportunity to celebrate the hard work of apprentices, employer sponsors, youth participants and foundation students across B.C.,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Training. “Our government values the tradespeople who are contributing to B.C.’s economic recovery. They are building our homes, fixing our cars and creating modern solutions. We are committed to creating opportunities for women, Indigenous Peoples and other under-represented groups to find good-paying, long-lasting careers in the trades.”

Throughout November, the ministry of advanced education and skills training and the industry training authority will be highlighting the many roles apprentices play in supporting and building a stronger economy. Also, they are hoping this will encourage people to start a career in the skilled trades. If you’re interested in a career change, head to findyourtrade.ca for more information.
