I wanted to share this awesome opportunity from Quadrant Marine – it is the “We Float Boats” program – where Youth get PAID to be trained. Participants gain hands-on skills in onboard systems, vessel detailing, engines and outboards, and power and hand tools. Open to youth aged 16 to 29 who are unemployed or underemployed, the program includes site tours, technical training, and a paid work placement – plus, it all starts May 20 in Sidney.
* Transportation support may be available for those who need it.
WorkBC Sidney Centre is having an information session in our office this Tuesday, May 6th from 12 – 1pm for any interested parties. They do not need to be WorkBC Clients. This really is an amazing opportunity!
