Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training 2020/21-2022/23 Service Plan
Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills & Training
This 2020/21 service plan outlines how the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training will support the government's priorities, including selected action items identified in the July 2017 Minister's Mandate Letter. Over the previous fiscal year, the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training made progress on these priorities by: (1) Investing nearly $20 million in co-developed post-secondary education and skills training with approximately 164 Indigenous communities, resulting in more Indigenous people furthering their education and obtaining employment; (2) Appointing Indigenous representation to boards of governors for all 25 public post-secondary institutions throughout British Columbia to ensure local Indigenous participation in post-secondary governance; (3) Increasing the affordability and accessibility of post-secondary education and training by eliminating interest accruing on B.C. government student loans, increasing access to new student housing throughout the province, and supporting safe post-secondary campuses for learners launching the 2019-20 Sexual Violence Prevention campaign; (4) Committing $9 million for co-op and work-integrated learning programs at public postsecondary institutions for students to gain invaluable hands-on experience for in-demand careers close to home; and (5) Expanding the Provincial Tuition Waiver Program for former youth in care to include the Native Education College and 10 union trainers in the construction trades. This performance plan outlines how the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training will continue to track progress on key mandate letter commitments and other emerging government priorities.
