Compulsory trades training Phase 1 deadline is Dec. 1

The SkilledTradesBC roadshow coming to Prince George Wednesday to explain the new apprenticeship and certification rules

B.C. is bringing back compulsory trades certification to address critical shortages of skilled labour, with an estimated 85,000 job openings in those trades expected over the next decade.

The transition clock started ticking last Dec. 1st for seven electrical trades – construction electrician, industrial electrician, powerline technician, refrigeration/air conditioning mechanic, gasfitter A and B, steamfitter/pipefitter and sheet metal worker. The 10 trades were chosen to allow for the least disruption. Those workers are in demand, most are already certified and each of those trades is already regulated within the industry to ensure safety and workmanship.

To explain the certification program, SkilledTradesBC is hosting an open house Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. at the Marriott Courtyard.
