The skilled trades offer satisfying, well-paid careers to everyone.

Apprenticeship in BC is open to all, including Indigenous Peoples, women, and newcomers. The trades sector actively needs the diverse perspectives and skills that people from all backgrounds bring.

If you've ever wondered whether a trades career could be the right fit for you, the answer is worth exploring. Over 90 programs are available across BC, and support services exist to help you get started and stay on track.

Plus, eligible apprentices registered with SkilledTradesBC may be able to receive financial support during their classroom portion of their apprenticeship training!

HeadsUpGuys

Checking in with a friend doesn’t have to be a big conversation, it can be as simple as a quick message to say “how are you really doing?”.
A lot of guys are dealing with more than they let on, and sometimes that small check-in is enough to remind someone they’re not on their own.
