B.C. Prior Learning Action Network: Premier Christy Clark

Premier Christy Clark: Congratulations to Premier Christy Clark for recognizing the need for an action plan to help foreign workers get their qualifications recognized in B.C. and be encouraged to work in the liquefied-natural-gas industry. There are several thousand immigrants already in B.C. who have difficulty getting their qualifications recognized, as well as many under-utilized workers who have developed competencies and skills but have no recognized certification that would enable them to work in industries experiencing a lack of skilled workers. , according to Times Colonist. The B.C. Prior Learning Action Network is a non-profit association of public post-secondary institutions, community employment organizations and employer-sector representatives. Re: LNG plan boosts immigrant workers, Sept. 21.
