British Columbians whose jobs have been affected by COVID-19, and people facing barriers to employment, can get new skills training and job opportunities through new training projects.
In a news release on August 5 Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Training Anne Kang announced that “British Columbians whose jobs have been affected due to COVID-19, and people facing barriers to employment, can get new skills training and job opportunities through new training projects.”
“The investment is part of B.C.’s Economic Recovery Plan to help thousands of people upskill or reskill and find their place in the post-COVID economy. Funding of $95 million is being allocated to organizations around B.C. to provide skills training and employment services and supports for over 9,000 British Columbians.”
Skills training providers, service organizations and industry employers are providing opportunities via three provincewide funding streams, including:
- Community Workforce Response Grant program
- The BC Employer Training Grant program
- Skills Training for Employment programs
