New Brunswick Community College has received a three-year financial investment from DEWALT Canada that will strengthen skilled trades education and bolster New Brunswick’s workforce. The investment will support three main areas related to trades training. This will include 20 bursaries over the next three years, access to professional grade DEWALT tools and equipment, and improvements to shops so training spaces remain safe while meeting industry standards. Additionally, NBCC’s High School Trades Orientation Program (HSTOP)—powered By DEWALT—will increase trades exposure for high school students wanting to enter the trades. “NBCC is deeply grateful for DEWALT’s investment in our students and our province,” said NBCC VP, Engagement and Experience Heather Allaby.
