As the eighth annual Construction and Skilled Trades Month wound to a close at the end of April, the B.C. Construction Association (BCCA) announced the launch of the Past Chair Legacy Fund, an initiative designed to support the development of the construction industry. With a desire to foster the continued growth and success of the industry, the fund will provide financial resources for eligible trade and other professional construction career pathways.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs an industry, we recognize that our most valuable asset is our people,\u201d said BCCA president Chris Atchison. \u201cBy offering an educational fund to construction industry workers, we are investing not only in their personal and professional growth but also in the future of the entire sector.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Past Chair Legacy Fund will award up to four applicants each year, with one recipient chosen from the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Northern, and the Southern Interior regions, respectively. The fund will be managed by the BCCA, who will oversee the application process, adjudication and administration.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s application window opened at the end of April and runs until June 15. Successful applicants will be informed of their awards at the end of July. Those who wish to apply can submit their applications online at www.bccassn.com\/past-chair-legacy-fund-application-page\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThis initiative empowers workers to enhance their skills, adapt to evolving technologies, and take on leadership roles, ensuring our industry remains competitive and innovative,\u201d added Atchison. \u201cWe are proud to support the hardworking individuals who are the backbone of our infrastructure and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n www.bccassn.com<\/a><\/p>\n Print this page<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
