The Bench Lid Sandbox project was shared by Mr. Brandon Heyer, the Skills Training Apprenticeship Carpentry teacher at the Individual Learning Centre in School District 63. This project has been a big hit on Vancouver Island in recent weeks and was featured in #yyj’s @timescolonist, as well as @chek_news.

The project was originally created for his students, who have advanced skills and knowledge.

WORKPLACE TOURS – VIRTUALLY! Go behind the scene

WORKPLACE TOURS – VIRTUALLY!
Go behind the scenes at Crown West, a metal manufacturing plant located in Kelowna, BC.

Earlier this year our Skills Ready team was able to go behind the scenes on a plant tour to see how the Crown West team fabricates a wide range of items. On the shop floor you will see a wide range of Red Seal Trades People in action, from welders and metal fabricators to machinists and industrial mechanics.

Unfortunately, we are not able to conduct in person tours during this time, but can share their own online tour for you to take a look at! Check it out! http://ow.ly/a8uj50znWTM
