Funds open path to high-demand jobs for students

Camosun College is among the BC post-secondary institutions receiving funding for a new pathway program aimed at helping students get skills that have the highest demand in the workforce.
 
"The pathway programs are a new Adult Basic Education and English Language Learning initiative that will help address labour shortages by better supporting students in completing the pre-requisites they need to transition directly into high-demand post-secondary programs of their choice," the provincial government announced Tuesday. "The overall goal is to increase learners’ success and improve their access to post-secondary programs related to high-priority careers in the skilled trades, the technology sector, early childhood education and health care, including nursing and allied health jobs."
