CHBA BC’s Homebuilders Initiative wants to help empower career exploration for high school students while promoting safety in hands-on learning.
The goal of our bursary program is to remove financial barriers preventing students from actively participating in construction-related activities by providing them with essential safety gear, specifically steel toe boots.
These boots are not only a mandatory safety requirement on construction sites but also serve as a symbolic entry point into the world of construction careers.
High school students who express a genuine interest in exploring construction careers through vocational courses or workshops will be eligible to apply for the bursary. This program applies to co-op terms, spring break, and summer break.
