BC Log and Timber Building Industry Association asks “where has our apprenticeship training system gone?”

At its upcoming annual general meeting, March 23^rd to 25^th in Chase, the association and its members will seek answers from the Industry Training Authority (ITA) about the recent cancellation of the long-awaited Log Builder apprenticeship program and the discontinuation of funding to RCITO, the organization that helped advocate for the industry’s emerging training needs.

Notice to RCITO Customers and Stakeholders

You may have heard that Industry Training Authority (ITA) has determined – without any consultation with RCITO or the industry organizations and employers we represent - that it will no longer provide funding to RCITO, effective April 1, 2012. We are very disappointed by this news and the lack of consultation, but remain committed to serving the training needs of the home building and renovation industry.
