What I’m really pretty excited about is the number of young girls that see this as an opportunity — we’re seeing both young men and young women get engaged in the trades early so that they can have the jobs of the future.
– Susannah Pierce, Director, Corporate Affairs, LNG Canada
Eighteen indigenous and non-indigenous youth, aged 11 to 17 years-old, spent a week learning about welding safety, gas metal-arc welding and other aspects of the LNG industry as part of LNG Canada’s Arc and Spark welding camp at the Kitimat Valley Institute, co-sponsored by the CWB Welding Foundation. Pierce says the future of the industry—and the future of the northwest—depends on getting young people involved in trades training.
