British Columbia — Trades Workforce Movement
BC's construction and trades industry is short thousands of workers — and the next generation doesn't know these careers exist yet. BCTradesForce is building the bridge between industry and the people who will run it.
The Situation in BC
BC's construction contractors are growing — but they can't find the people to do the work. Nobody told the next generation these careers exist. BCTradesForce changes that.
Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows places more students into trades than any other school district in BC — because the parents here get it.
Many BC trades programs are full. Students are being turned away. Demand is overflowing — capacity is running dry.
Even if a student can't get a seat this year, we can get them connected, interested, and job-ready for when BC construction kicks back into gear.
Real careers. Real wages. Running equipment, building the province, earning from day one. BCTradesForce connects students directly to the industry.
