The new complex at BCIT's Burnaby campus is expected to meet the increasing demand in the province's skilled trades sector over the next decade.
The British Columbia Institute of Technology will soon get a new state-of-the-art trades and technology complex that will help improve educational opportunities and job placement for the trades in the province, thanks to $33 million in funding.
"As the only B.C. post-secondary with a provincial mandate for strategic workforce development, BCIT connects education, industry, and government in support of building an agile workforce with sustained and meaningful impact to meet the labour market needs of today and tomorrow." It will also allow the educational institute to offer more in-person training and increase delivery of immersive training for specialized areas, including mass timber construction and net-zero buildings.Donors across a range of sectors, including development, electrical, engineering, mining and forestry, contributed funds through the campaign, the largest fundraiser in BCIT's history, according to the news release.
