ITAC Apprenticeship/Trades and Technology Career Centre

[We regret that ITAC has been dismantled, along with its mandate to increase particpation of designated groups in Apprenticeship training in British Columbia. Keep an eye on the Polemic page for recent gender statistics for apprenticeship in the province.We do not know what the replacement will be for the apprenticeship system here.]

This is what has replaced the Apprenticeship system in British Columbia: The Industry Training Authority, which has only one representative from a labour union: http://www.itabc.ca/
