Our business is built on employee knowledge, so we encourage and support life-long learning. Training programs help staff acquire new skills and embrace new ways of thinking. They also increase job satisfaction and work performance by aligning personal skills with chosen career paths.
FortisBC offers specialized apprenticeship, engineer and management training programs. These programs provide assessments and development plans to help employees reach their short and long term goals.
In-house Apprenticeship Training Program
FortisBC offers an in-house apprenticeship trades training program, providing the chance to develop your skills and experience in various areas. To track development, participants are provided with a logbook developed by the Training department in collaboration with subject matter experts throughout the company.

The Engineer-in-Training (EIT) program supports Junior Engineers as they develop their skills.
Over four years, EIT participants are rotated through several departments to acquire the experience necessary for registration as a Professional Engineer (P.Eng) with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC.
