Doubling Trades Oppurtunites, The Province, Aug 17, 2007
The Industry Training Authority intends to double the number of aboriginal apprentices entering the trades by 2010.
The ITA, which manages B.C.'s apprenticeship programs for the provincial government, said it will work with aboriginal groups to develop a new strategy aimed at bringing more young aboriginal workers into the trades to meet the province's increasing demand for skilled labour.........
It sounds like a step in the right direction to improve the labour pool in British Columbia and increase the skillset of its population, but access and barriers to education for aboriginals should be looked at for every post secondary program, not just the trades.
