This week’s Conversation that Matters features Gary Herman of the Industry Training Authority.
Herman says the province is on the cusp of a serious job crunch. Over the next seven years close to one million jobs in BC are going to come available through a combination of new opportunities and mass retirement from the Baby Boom generation. Trades make up a substantial portion of those jobs and Herman is working with the Province, employers, educators, parents and young people to train the workforce of tomorrow.
