Kwantlen Polytechnic University has teamed up with the Squamish Nation on a new trades training program.
The community-based education and training partnership will give 48 aboriginal learners the chance to earn trades certificates that will prepare them for employment in LNG, construction trades craft work and environmental monitoring.
Funded by the provincial and federal governments, this is one of five new partnerships worth a total of $1 million intended to help aboriginal people get the skills needed to find work in B.C.
KPU and the Squamish Nation are receiving $414,287.
