Creating Innovation in Industry
Industry Services is actively working with a number of industry sectors to support sector innovation by developing new courses and programs to meet the current and future needs of companies in the industry. By collaborating with industry leaders we can provide training that fills existing gaps in currently available training programs.
Training Shipbuilders
In 2019, BCIT’s School of Construction in partnership with Seaspan’s Vancouver Shipyard, launched the three-week New Marine Construction for Welders course, developed specifically to raise the weld quality level demonstrated by marine welders. The course prepares both new hire and experienced welders for new construction shipbuilding and ship repair, providing them with a marine-specific set of skills required by employers such as Seaspan.
