Disastrous death of trades and apprenticeship program NUPGE.CA
B.C. Liberals kill program that trained 4,000 students a year
Victoria - Gordon Campbell's Liberal government has dealt a final blow to the Industry Trades and Apprenticeship program by issuing final layoff notices to the people who staff ITAC offices in communities around the province.
A total of approximately 100 B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU/NUPGE) members will have lost their jobs when all ITAC offices are closed for good on March 31, 2003.
These ITAC workers ensured the 4,000 students annually enrolled in trades training programs received the highest standard certifications, and supervised the worksite placements of 16,500 apprentices throughout their four-year terms.
“The elimination of ITAC is a major betrayal of young men and women who are seeking essential job skills,” says BCGEU president George Heyman.------------------------------------------- posted 7:01 AM :: reference link ::
