SkilledTradesBC.
Our new name will make it easier for people across the province to understand who we
are and what we do. While our role in advancing B.C.'s skilled trades system hasn’t
changed, it has expanded.
This includes a larger focus on raising the profile of skilled trades, modernizing our
approach to trades training, and implementing Skilled Trades Certification.
We will continue to do this by working closely with partners like yourselves as we
collectively support B.C.'s future economy through promoting people from diverse
backgrounds to join the skilled trades. To hear more about this, watch our short video
