Skilled Trades BC is hosting an open house in the Prince George’s Courtyard on Brunswick Street this week.

It will be centered around the new Skilled Trades Certification program that is currently impacting mechanical and electrical tradespeople.

According to Skilled Trades BC’s website, “implementation is currently underway, starting with electrical and mechanical trades. Each trade has a one-year transition period starting December 1, 2022, which will allow uncertified workers to register as an apprentice or become certified by challenging a certification exam. Businesses can prepare for implementation by ensuring workers are registered apprentices or certified journeypersons and making any adjustments necessary to ensure their successful transition to Skilled Trades Certification.”

The open house will be on April 12th from 4:00-6:00pm at the Courtyard.
