BC Reskilling
Due to Covid-19, British Columbia has faced historic job losses. Training individuals for high demand technology roles represents the fastest way to address this challenge and position the Province for resiliency in the future.Rapid reskilling will help address the talent needs of British Columbia’s growing tech sector.
K-12 Educators
After parents, teachers are usually the most influential adults in children’s lives; in order to reach students, we must first reach the teachers. With changes happening to BC’s Grade 11 and 12 career education curriculum in September and shortages in skilled labour for tech careers, now is the critical time to support educators in technology awareness. Although there are technology training programs for students, there are few programs that focus on the educators themselves and particularly for educators from all disciplines.
Indigenous Internships
With Indigenous people representing less than 1% of technology jobs in BC, there lies a tremendous opportunity to develop Indigenous talent for the future workforce by both attracting and maintaining Indigenous employees in the sector. Although there are programs training technical skills for Indigenous youth none provide the next stage of hands-on work experience.
