[ Staff Spotlight ]
Meet the REPS - Allan from the Kootenays!
When journeyman carpenter Allan Pusey joined STEP, his hiring manager told him, “I hope this is this is the best job you’ll ever have!” And he couldn’t agree more.
Allan loves working in the Kootenays - it offers him a perfect work/life balance.
When you meet him at the next job fair in your area, ask Allan about the last trip he took to see his favourite band!

[ Apprenticeship Month – Meet Susan Bitz ]
“You never know what you are capable of until you try.”
Former Lather Apprentice and current STEP REPS Susan Bitz will ask you to always trust your gut and advocate for yourself.
And if there’s one thing she’ll change about her apprenticeship past: “I would not let the opinions of others bother me.”
Thank you, Susan for being a part of the STEP family, and for sharing your learnings!

[ Testimonial ]
We’ve asked our apprentices to share their experience with STEP!
Here’s what Benedict Nsoh, a Sprinkler Fitter apprentice has to say:
“I came from an IT background and had no experience working in the trades. STEP has been more than helpful, from building a resume, linking me up with an employer and getting me all the necessary tools and safety gear to begin my journey in the trades.”

November is Apprenticeship Month in BC.
Our STEP REPS have the privilege of working with apprentices and the employers who mentor them, every day.
We've asked them to share their experiences with us.
Meet Emily.
"I was initially nervous about finding employment in the electrical field, being that I had never worked in the trades before and the fact that I was a female entering into a very male-dominated field. Teresa from STEP supported me throughout the whole process, which included helping me choose a company that best suited my needs and interests and helping me to create a trades-orientated resume which I feel played an integral role in getting a call back from each company I applied to. I am very grateful for the funding provided by STEP, which enabled me to purchase the tools necessary to get started in the trade without all the financial stress."
Emily Mason – Apprentice Electrician
