CRAFTCentre – Employment In Trades

by Joe Pyringer

Thinking of relocating to Vancouver, B.C. and interested in the trades?
We have lots of jobs to the build-up of the 2010 Winter Olympics!

CRAFTCentre is the new, free Employment Assistance Service that has established a connection to high-paying construction jobs within British Columbia’s Construction Building Trades. We work together with industry to prepare clients for specific occupations using highly experienced trades experts working for SkillPlan to deliver our trades focused workshops. SkillPlan has had a connection with the building trades for over 15 years in preparing apprentices and journeypersons to succeed in the labour market. The opportunities that we offer at our Employment Assistance Service will help clients find jobs or training in long lasting sustainable employment, such as apprenticeships that lead to trade certification or other occupations. Our free workshops offer assistance towards careers with the potential of high wages, benefits and good working conditions.

CRAFTCentre will assist all persons interested in the trades who are unemployed, or persons working under 20 hours per week and eligible to work in Canada, with or without previous trades related skills including Youth, Women, Immigrants, Aboriginal People and persons with the need for foreign credential recognition. There is NO-FEE for our services including Job Search, Career Planning and Assessment Services as they are funded by the Federal Government of Canada.

If you are considering relocating to Vancouver BC and you are interested in the trades, contact CRAFTCentre today!
