 This conference is sponsored by the Industry Training Authority and it brings together all of the key players that are focusing on trade training, technologists, technicians in British Columbia. It includes the big employers, the industry associations, the BC Federation of Labor, colleges, institutions, and the provincial government. It really is a collaboration thinking about how do we move forward and make sure that all those jobs that are being created across British Columbia are filled by British Columbians. The success of the industry training system in meeting the challenges of tomorrow is tied directly to the ability of the players in the system to work collaboratively, to maximize their collective value. So let's all take full advantage of this day and this opportunity. Let's put forward a very best thinking in pursuit, not of solutions to past problems of the past, but in our collective capacity to create our future. Today we've been really pleased to announce 10 million dollars to different industry association groups to help support the development of trade training in their respective organizations. Whether you're a road builder or home builder, you've got an interest in making sure there are sufficient individuals that are capable of taking on those key possessions. This funding will be used to help upgrade existing skills, recruit and train people from other industries into those new sectors, taking people that are in underskilled possessions and getting them ready for a much stronger future. That 10 million dollars has spread over three years. Individual industry association groups will be available to acquire up to half a million dollars in direct funding.
