SkilledTradesBC and the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care (ECC) teamed up to offer funding for students to complete their technical training while still in high school. Students can receive credits towards their high school diploma and at least one level of technical training by attending trades training classes at local high schools, post-secondary institutions, or SkilledTradesBC-certified training facilities of which KPU is one. 

The annual Youth Train in Trades Transition Conference at KPU is intended to provide participants with information and skills to support their transition from High School to their Trades program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

What happens at the Transition Program Conference?

We will be meeting on campus, where you will get some tips on how to thrive in the trades and technology learning environment from current trades and peer tutors and have fun!

We will also connect to talk with you personally to get the technology you need up and running.  

Please REGISTER for your session. Numbers are limited on each day, so register as soon as you are able.
