Building the Workforce
BCIB hires traditionally underrepresented tradespeople to work on some of B.C.’s largest infrastructure projects. All BCIB workers get training to help them support one another onsite, increasing understanding while reducing discrimination, bullying and harassment. We connect newer workers with training and apprenticeships so they can progress in their careers.
BCIB and our partners in industry and labour are building up a respectful and qualified workforce to benefit B.C.’s construction sector for years to come.

Building Community Here
“I get to work in the community that I live and coach in, which is awesome. It feels like a community at work because I see so many of the same faces around town every day.”
Duncan, speaking of when he was the BCIB Site Rep on the Chase East Project. He is now the Associate Manager, Workforce Operations, on the Cowichan District Hospital Replacement Project.
Building Futures Here
