LNG Canada believes that apprenticeship completion is critical to ensuring an improved supply of skilled tradespeople for the many projects currently under development within the LNG industry, and to replace many of the skilled tradespeople nearing retirement age.

One of the barriers to apprenticeship completion is funding, and to remove this barrier, LNG Canada has contributed over $1.54 million to a Trades Training Fund and recently announced its 1000th participant. This funding goes to building awareness of the trades available in any industry, particularly the emerging LNG industry. LNG Canada is pleased to be working with the B.C. Construction Association, who is actively building awareness of the fund and administering it on LNG Canada’s behalf.

Funding from LNG Canada’s contribution is available to small and medium-size employers to assist them with training programs for apprentices. Current apprentices in the middle of their apprenticeships can speak to their employer to apply for money from the fund, and employers that want to set up training programs can apply to the fund directly.
