Occupational Skills Training 

WorkBC’s Occupational Skills training offers eligible clients the opportunity to enroll in post-secondary programs across diverse industries. The process for skills training starts by working with an Employment Consultant, where you can identify your strengths and areas for support to create a plan for long-term employment.

If you are successful in the application process, WorkBC has a range of services designed to ensure a successful pathway to sustainable employment once your program has been completed. This can include counselling, living supports, ongoing employment coaching, childcare, and transportation. By addressing these areas and offering customized and inclusive support, WorkBC aids individuals in transitioning to meaningful and lasting careers, helping them succeed in their chosen fields.
