CNC and Northern Regional Construction Association launching pilot event

The College of New Caledonia and the Northern Regional Construction Association is launching its Discovery Trades pilot event.

This is presented by FortisBC, supported by the BC Road Builders Roadshow, and features hands-on sessions in carpentry, welding, auto mechanics, and more.

It’s geared towards introducing high school students to various career opportunities in the trades and related sectors.

Northern Regional Construction Association CEO, Nicole Bryant said “Discovery Trades is about sparking curiosity and opening doors.”

“By connecting students with real-world experiences and industry professionals, we’re helping them envision meaningful and dynamic careers in sectors that are vital to our region.”

While this year’s event is focused on Prince George students, the program aims to expand across Northern BC, giving more youth the opportunity to explore careers.

The event will be on Tuesday, at the CNC’s Canfor Trades Building.
