Building Builders Mentorship Program In Around Town
Your Weekly Construction Briefing
The BC Construction Association announced a province-wide mentorship program to encourage skilled trades as a career path. The program is funded to run for three years and expected to support 300 mentees through a 12-month mentorship period.
The program is created and managed by the BC Construction Association and is the only province-wide mentorship program serving BC’s construction industry. The program aims to connect under and un-employed workers with experienced mentors across all disciplines in BC’s construction industry.
Expert, personal guidance can be difficult to access for job seekers without connections inside the industry. The average age of an apprentice in BC is 27, and BCCA hopes that Building Builders will help first year apprentices get started earlier and stay in the system by providing personalized, ongoing career guidance.
Wage contributions may be available to hire mentees for work experience. Funding for Building Builders has been provided by the Ministry of Employment and Social Development Canada.
