Ep. 017: British Columbia is Out of Jobs

Economy
Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: Gary Herman, Industry Training Authority

Gary Herman of the Industry Training Authority says British Columbia is on the cusp of a serious job crunch.

Over the next seven years, close to one million jobs in BC are going to come available through a combination of new opportunities and mass retirement from the Baby Boom generation. Trades make up a substantial portion of those jobs and Herman is working with the Province, employers, educators, parents and young people to train the workforce of tomorrow.
