Building Tradespeople Here
“BC Infrastructure Benefits projects such as the BCIT Trades and Technology Complex are an investment in career opportunities for Indigenous peoples, women, people with disabilities and those who have long been underrepresented in the skilled trades. Equity provisions demonstrate a commitment to people – providing a legacy of pride and self-reliance for a workforce that represents the diverse communities where we live and work.”
Tamara Pongracz, Department Head, Trades Access, BCIT
Building Innovation Here
“BCIT is honoured to partner with the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, the Ministry of Infrastructure, and BCIB on the BCIT Trades and Technology Complex. Together, we are helping to build a skilled and resilient workforce for British Columbia – one that reflects the diversity of our communities and drives innovation. This initiative not only addresses critical workforce needs, but also delivers lasting environmental, social, and economic benefits. Through hands-on training, local procurement, and expanded opportunities for Indigenous youth and equity-deserving groups, we are shaping a stronger, more inclusive future for all.”
Dr. Jeff Zabudsky, President, BCIT
Building Apprenticeships Here
“This Centre will empower new and diverse tradespeople with skills to build their careers in construction. Apprentices work with experienced tradespeople, building this new school together. It’s very exciting.”
Dr. David Podmore, OBC, Concert Co-Founder & CEO and Honorary Doctorate of Technology from BCIT
Building Futures Here
“BCIT prepares students to take on a complex world. BCIB builds opportunity here in BC for tradespeople. This partnership brings together two organizations working to build a workforce for today and for tomorrow.”
Irene Kerr, President & CEO, BCIB
