Building the Workforce

BCIB hires traditionally underrepresented tradespeople to work on some of B.C.’s largest infrastructure projects. All BCIB workers get training to help them support one another onsite, increasing understanding while reducing discrimination, bullying and harassment. We connect newer workers with training and apprenticeships so they can progress in their careers.

BCIB and our partners in industry and labour are building up a respectful and qualified workforce to benefit B.C.’s construction sector for years to come.

Building Futures Here

“To come and work on such a big project is very good for me as someone who immigrated recently.  Lebanon is at war, so you can’t look forward to your future. You can dream here.”

“A lot of people jump around in construction and move for work.  Now with BCIB, I’m more comfortable and I’m more secure. It’s starting to feel like a career and I never felt that before.”
