Local non-profit is working to assist Indigenous youth who are going into trades
Four Indigenous Youth were awarded the annual TradeTek Youth Apprenticeship Scholarship by the Prince George Aboriginal Employment and Training Association this week.
The scholarship is intended to assist youth with their trades employment and training-related expenses, which could include tools, work gear materials or assistance with books or tuition. “It is important that we support our youth to continue their trades journey. The field of trades offers lucrative employment for career advancement,” said PGNAETA executive director Karin Hunt.
The non-profit also currently operates a trades division with classroom space, and a computer laboratory with qualified staff to facilitate industry preparatory programs.
