B.C. Institute of Technology and Simon Fraser University are among five post-secondary institutions receiving a total of $1.5 million from the province to provide skills training to unemployed workers.
The five will offer a total of 17 intakes across 10 different programs to provide unemployed workers with general employment skills or job-specific skills, such as industrial material handling and logistics and software systems development.
The money is part of $5.2 million provincewide earmarked for training programs to help almost 1,000 unemployed re-enter the workforce or pursue further education.
