With $325,000 in provincial funding through CleanBC, BCIT has completed the pilot of the program with the City of Vancouver’s green-fleet technicians. This is an example of the thousands of new jobs and opportunities we’ll see under our CleanBC plan to boost the economy, reduce air pollution and make life more affordable.” So we’re going to need mechanics, and BC is the first province to offer this kind of training. BC has the fastest increase of EVs on the road, with 30,000 now. “This training program is a game changer and part of where the world is going as we switch to zero-emission vehicles,” said Michelle Mungall, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. Under government’s CleanBC plan, all new light-duty vehicles sold in BC by 2040 will be zero-emission vehicles. The newly developed EV Maintenance Training program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) will make sure the province’s workforce has the skills and training needed to support more electric vehicles on the road. With support from CleanBC, a new electric vehicle (EV) training program for automotive technicians has successfully completed its first pilot and is available to the public. Update March 29, 2021: EV skills training now available at three additional colleges.
