Women
In partnership with BC Building Trades, a crew of young adults participate in a Trade ambassador program to advocate for the trades to high school students via a presentation and games. Nicole Pasqualini represented the College of the BC Building Trades at Skills Canada BC on April 16, 2025.
Indigenous
SMWTCS was invited to instruct a sheet metal “try a trade” for indigenous women at the Nexw7áỷstwaỷ Training and Trades Centre (Squamish Nation). Jake LeBlanc and Sheila Sadler facilitated a one-week trades sampler program in April.
Newcomers
SMWTCS works with our partner, Skill Plan to implement an assessment process for all apprentices attending technical training. All apprentices, regardless of their citizenship status or country of origin, must demonstrate a satisfactory level of English proficiency, math work problems and document use to support them succeeding in their chosen program.
