• Expand dual-credit programs, apprenticeships and paid work experience with post-secondary institutions and employers. We will make it easier for schools to hire qualified Red Seal tradespeople, musicians, athletes and other experts.

• We will make it easier for apprentices to stay employed during technical training and work with employers to expand training in skilled trades and other occupations where BC needs workers."
