Creating Energy Careers is our initiative in partnership with the high schools in Fort St. John, designed to highlight exciting career opportunities in the trades. We spearheaded this program and have been a driving force behind its success. Now in our third year, we’re proud to have the largest number of participants to date.

Unlike other programs, we created a hands-on experience that fully immerses students in the trades. Participants earn essential safety certifications like First Aid and H2S before spending four days working directly with local businesses, gaining real-world experience as if they were starting their careers. This approach goes beyond facility tours—it gives students a true grasp of being in the workforce. They also receive course credit, serving as a valuable bridge to the Dual Credit program. We’ve seen graduates from this initiative get hired by employers or pursue careers in the trades. If this opportunity excites you, or you would like to get involved, let us know.
