By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. – For the second year, UNBC will receive funding to help unemployed and low skilled British Columbians upgrade their skills to transition back to the labour force, get a better job or further their education. 

In its second year, the program has been expanded to include low-skilled, employed individuals as well as individuals who are unemployed but not Employment Insurance (EI) clients.

 UNBC joins BCIT,  Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, Royal Roads University and Simon Fraser University in sharing the $1.5 million dollars to help more than 250 students.  

Another $3.7 million has been provided to the labour market consortium, made up of 15 colleges and universities to fund training for about 700 students across the province.
