Trades & Apprenticeships
BC AMTA clients who achieve a high score on the TOWES, or who already hold a Dogwood Diploma, are eligible to participate in a variety of training programs, including trades/apprenticeship programs with TRU and other post-secondary providers. With a goal of becoming Red Seal certified, these candidates will be able to work across Canada within their trade and will be especially welcomed in the mining sector, which is facing a record number of retirements over the next decade. BC AMTA’s mining partners have confirmed a need to hire certified trades people in this timeframe.
