CFNR Network Jul 27, 2021 | 4:53 PM The Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake is once again offering a tuition-free trades program, this time it will be for a construction craft workers level on course. The Continuing studies community coordinator Alison Sutherland-Mann stated that the course will run from Aug. 23 to Oct. 29 of this year and she also said that the course is an ITA endorsed trades training program. Students will be building a small structure and they will receive 10 different certificates such as Occupational First Aid level one, traffic control, fall protection, fire safety and confined space. Sutherland-Mann gave credit to Heather Hamilton, who works in trades and training at TRU Kamloops, for applying for a grant in order to fund the program, which not only provided tuition but the grant also was able to buy personal protective equipment, a few tools and books.
