Workers In Transition

Many workers in British Columbia are facing challenges due to changes in British Columbia’s labour market and resource-based economy. The Province of British Columbia is providing workers with access to funding and assistance programs such as,

• The $129-million Community Development Trust, which assists forest workers transitioning to retirement, accessing tuition funds and funding temporary employment opportunities;
• WorkBC, which provides access and information on employment and retraining opportunities.

Many more resources are available through the links on the left.

For further program funding and application information, as well as general advice, contact the RuralBC Secretariat.
