Every young person carries the potential to build something great, and TradeWorks supports that journey by bridging the gap between entry-level interest and a successful career in the Canadian workforce. Through hands-on experience and industry-led training, we help you step into the trades with purpose and pride.
TradeWorks is a youth-focused employment program that prepares individuals for entry-level work in construction and related trades.
Delivered in collaboration with Thompson Rivers University (TRU), WorkBC and the BC Provincial Government, the program combines hands-on training, workplace readiness, industry-recognized safety certifications, and work experience to support pathways into employment or further trades training.
