KAMLOOPS — Up to 24 eligible British Columbians will get training to prepare them for jobs in the forest industry.
The B.C. government is providing more than $760,000 to Stillwater Consulting Ltd. to deliver skills and certification courses in two intakes of its Advanced Forestry Skills Training program in Kamloops.
“This is the second intake of a great project running out of Kamloops,” Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction Nicholas Simons said. “Participants will learn job-specific skills and get the certificates they need to set them on a rewarding career path in the forest sector.”
The Advanced Forestry Skills Training program in Kamloops is a new Community and Employer Partnerships project from the province. During the project, participants will receive 16 weeks of occupational and employability skills training, three weeks of on-the-job work experience with local employers and two weeks of follow-up support to assist in their job search.
