In a recent announcement from the Province of BC, it was revealed that up to 120 people will be able to get training for employment in wildfire and integrated natural resources fields in five regions around BC.
This opportunity is being called the Community and Employer Partnerships project and it will mainly focus on training for youth as well as youth at risk, immigrants, Indigenous people, and other people who face issues getting employed.
More than $4 million will be headed the way of Stillwater Consulting Ltd so they can deliver two intakes of its Wildfire and Integrated Natural Resources program in cities such as Prince George.
Those who join the program will get 17 weeks of employability and occupational skills training, three weeks of on-the-job experience with local employers, and four weeks of support to assist their job search.
Those who wish to find more information about this program can visit their local WorkBC centre.
