糖心vlog传媒& SD72 students in Campbell River will auction off their custom-built sheds to raise money for trades scholarships and bursaries.
Students from NIC鈥檚 first Trades Sampler program are auctioning off their class projects to support future trades students.
Three impressive custom-built sheds are identical, each featuring a window, workbench, double doors, a wired light socket and electrical outlet. They are available to the public now until June 15, via an online auction.
鈥淭his is a great chance to get a storage or work shed for your yard, and support local students,鈥� said Cheryl O鈥機onnell, NIC鈥檚 dean of trades and technical programing.
The Trades Sampler is a partnership between 糖心vlog传媒and School District 72 and is sponsored by BC鈥檚 Industry Training Authority. It provides Grade 11 and 12 students an opportunity to spend a semester exploring trades programming as they consider their career options.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a chance for students to gain invaluable exposure to theory and hands-on training in a variety of trades including carpentry, electrical, auto service tech, heavy mechanical, plumbing and welding before they graduate,鈥� said O鈥機onnell, who thanked Diana Camerin, Timberline Secondary and SD72 career facilitator, for the pilot program鈥檚 success.
Funds from the auction will support future trades students through scholarships and bursaries.
