BCCA is pleased to announce that the Building Builders construction mentorship program, funded by the Government of Canada’s Canadian Apprenticeship Strategy has received an additional two-years of funding. This extension will commence after the initial three-year funding period ends on March 31, 2025, ensuring the program continues through March 31, 2027.
This additional support reinforces the impact and success of Building Builders in delivering essential mentorship and training to aspiring tradespeople across British Columbia. Since its inception, Building Builders has empowered hundreds of participants, including mentors and those receiving mentorship, with the skills and experience needed to thrive in BC’s construction industry, contributing to a stronger and more inclusive workforce. The program has provided invaluable mentorship, hands-on training, and career advancement pathways, enabling participants to build fulfilling careers while addressing the skilled labour shortage.
We look forward to the continued success of the program and to seeing more individuals benefit from this opportunity.
