Sexual harassment is not part of the job
Join BCCWITT and our partners at SHARP Workplaces in Prince George for free workplace training around sexual harassment—training designed to provide you with the information, resources, and guidance you need to address these issues that are affecting too many workers in BC, with a particular focus on supporting those most impacted in the trades industry.

These training sessions are open to anyone working in the trades industry in British Columbia—including but not limited to tradespeople, trades training instructors, OHS professionals, union representatives, etc.
People of all genders are welcome, as the curriculum has been designed to support those who may be newer to navigating legal rights and responsibilities, or new to being advocates supporting those who may experience workplace sexual harassment.
