Industry and Trades Training

There aren’t many sure bets in life, but this one is as good as it gets.

Over the next 15 years, thousands of skilled trades persons will be required to fill vacancies created by a growing economy and the impending retirement of baby boomers. Our pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs give students the tools they need today for the jobs of tomorrow.

The School of Industry Trades and Training also offers Industry-Based Training Programs. Selkirk will tailor a program to suit every company’s needs – and timetable. Industry related courses (external link) such as Air Brakes, Forklift Operation, Refrigeration and Tradesperson Upgrading are offered throughout the year at the College or at the workplace.
