VANCOUVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
New Leadership in Construction and Trades course to be offered this winter

November 22, 2024

Vancouver Community College (VCC) is pleased to partner with the Vancouver Regional Construction Association (VRCA) on launching a new Inclusive Leadership in Construction and Trades micro-credential course this fall.

The innovative program is designed to equip construction and trade professionals with the skills needed to foster a more inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace.

"The VRCA is thrilled to keep expanding opportunities for our members to engage, learn, and dive into the important work of inclusion, diversity, and equity in construction and trades. As our industry faces a significant labour shortage, recognizing the benefits of a diverse workforce is more important than ever. We believe that leading by example is the best way to drive change. This course allows current and future leaders to grow personally and commit to building a more inclusive culture in our industry," said VRCA president Jeannine Martin.

On top of industry knowledge, the 30-hour course awards students with a digital badge that enhances their CV, LinkedIn profile, or online portfolio. 

The Inclusive Leadership in Construction and Trades course provides the opportunity for construction professionals to elevate their leadership skills while earning up to 10 Gold Seal Credits. 

"We are dedicated to empowering lives through innovative learning opportunities, and this micro-credential is designed to encourage reflective and equitable practices for emerging and experienced leaders in the industry. We are proud to contribute towards building stronger, more inclusive teams that reflect the diverse communities of British Columbia, through this partnership with VRCA," said Claire Sauvé, associate director, VCC Continuing Studies.
