2. Training
The BCRCC runs training programs at our 40,000-square-foot training centre in Vancouver as well as at various other locations in B.C. Our advantage is that we are an affiliate of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and therefore have access to courses on hundreds of craft-specific subjects developed by our International Training Center in Las Vegas. Subject matter experts from throughout North America develop curricula and teach instructors to deliver training programs at their home locals. If you are interested in viewing our Vancouver or Las Vegas training centres, call us to arrange a visit.
3. Safety
Safety has become a priority in today’s construction industry. Providing a safe workplace is not just a regulatory requirement, it is essential in keeping costs down for Worksafe premiums. The BCRCC provides numerous safety courses such as Fall Arrest, Construction Safety Training Systems (CSTS), Confined Space, and First Aid in our training facility and at other local areas.
4. Mobility of Employees
