Camosun College, the College of New Caledonia, and Northern Lights College have received funding for new labour market training projects that will help those facing employment barriers. The colleges will use the funds for skills-development programs in different sectors, such as the trades, facility maintenance, and transportation. This will prepare youth, Indigenous participants, and those on income assistance for stable employment. “By investing in skills… matched to what employers actually need, we’re helping people across the province connect to good-paying jobs and building stronger local economies in the process” explained Government of British Columbia Minister of Jobs and Economic Growth Ravi Kahlon. The funding is part of a $6M investment from the provincial and federal government.
