Matching skills with demand

PictureSherri Bell and Mark Collin
The Chamber prides itself on helping people make the kind of connections that let them build good business and great community. A perfect example is the winning combination of Camosun College and BC Ferries.

“BC Ferries and Camosun College have a longstanding relationship, but I first connected with Sherri at a Chamber Business Leaders Luncheon,” Collins says. “We’re looking at expanding opportunities for Camosun to provide certifications that will help BC Ferries meet our most pressing labour demands.”

As a post-secondary school focused on getting graduates into the workforce, Camosun was keen to find ways to work with the unique opportunity presented by sharing the same hometown as BC Ferries.

“We know the labour market is constantly changing and new skills are needed as technology changes the tasks we do every day at our jobs,” Bell says. “Camosun provides a direct route for many people seeking careers in the skilled trades by focusing on applied skills as well as a broader education. BC Ferries is a good example of a major employer that needs people with very specific skills, so it’s important for us to work together.”
