QUESNEL – The College of New Caledonia (CNC) Quesnel is celebrating more than 1,200 students trained since the opening of its Industry Training Centre one year ago.
In March 2017, CNC Quesnel took over the Quesnel School District’s retail and industry training programs. Since then, the College has expanded course offerings and, with the help of regional business and industry, trained 257 per cent more students in the first quarter of 2018 than the first quarter of 2017.
“We consult with area employers to provide valuable, in-demand training for their workforce, helping them to increase productivity and grow their organizations,” said Morgan Ross, Regional Principal of CNC’s Quesnel campus.
Within the first year of the Industry Training Centre opening, CNC Quesnel obtained certification to offer Minor Wound Care, Aerial Boom Lift, Scissor Lift, and FOODSAFE Level 2 training.
“The College looks forward to adding to the variety of courses we offer to serve the needs of our region,” Ross said. “We are committed to supporting a well-trained workforce. Part of this commitment is doing what we can to help prepare employees to adapt to changing technologies and new demands.”
