A total of $10 million in skills-training funding is being made available to B.C. sector and industry groups over three years to allow them to play a leading role in developing new training programs to help meet labour market needs, Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation announced. Bell made the announcement during a keynote speech at a skills development conference hosted by the Industry Training Authority.
The new funding builds on a commitment in the BC Jobs Plan to enhance access to skills training throughout the province, and will ensure that industry sectors are better able to meet changing labour market and employment training needs in their regions. This project is funded within government's existing fiscal plan.
Through the Labour Market Sector Solutions Initiative, the B.C. government is seeking funding proposals for training programs that are designed to meet present and future labour shortages. Sector or industry-based organizations experiencing a significant labour-market challenge are eligible to apply. Industry-sector organizations will be able to receive up to $500,000 per training project.
