Advanced education minister’s haste to dismantle trades training system has damaged B.C.’s national reputation bcgeu.ca release
(Vancouver) The leader of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union said today that the firing of the acting manager of the Industry Training Centre for allegedly upgrading individuals’ marks on trades certification tests signals a significant deterioration in the apprenticeship training system, under the helm of Advanced Education Minister Shirley Bond.
BCGEU President George Heyman charged that Bond’s “poorly thought-out agenda” for dismantling the former Industry Training and Apprenticeship Commission had already caused “discomfort at a national level” and uncertainty about whether B.C. could maintain good standing for national Red Seal trades qualification and safety standards.
“This latest development gravely affects B.C.’s national credibility when it comes to guaranteeing the professional level of trades training that allows workers to get jobs in other provinces,” said Heyman.------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
