TRAIN in Trades
Our district is very proud to offer 25+ Trades Training 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).
