​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Our district is​ very proud to offer 25+ Trades Tr​aining Programs​, TUITION-​FREE!

TRAIN in Trades means that students have an amazing opportunity to gain level 1 technical training while still in high school. All the training programs are dual credit, meaning students gain high school and post-secondary credits (with some gaining a third/industry credit with the Skilled Trades BC towards trade certification).​
