“Our program will help participants gain the driving, safety and essential skills they need to become valuable employees for their future employers.”
A Prince George-based trucking firm has been selected to conduct training to produce more truck drivers for northern B.C. through an initiative funded by the provincial government.
“This training program will benefit up to 24 people, including Indigenous people, immigrants and young people, and help them secure long-term careers in the region,” said Laurie Dillman, who co-founded Go Team Professional Training LTD with her husband Ted. "People in B.C. rely on professional drivers to bring supplies to our communities, yet these skills are in short supply,” said Malcolmson.
The first intake of professional driver apprentices happens on Monday in Williams Lake. A second intake is scheduled for Terrace, beginning Aug. 14 and the third happens Jan. 8, 2024 in 100 Mile House.
