Emily Carr University helps launch in-demand creative tech careers with B.C.’s new grant program - Vancouver Is Awesome

The StrongerBC future skills grant, unveiled just last month, is open to British Columbians aged 19 years or older – regardless of financial need – and provides up to $3,500 per person for eligible short-term skills training at public post-secondary institutions. ECU’s micro-credential programs, offered through Continuing Studies, are included in this grant program, which means learners can apply to take eligible courses with financial support. Micro-credentials are short-term courses and programs designed to help students develop focused, job-ready skills for in-demand positions in growing industries like tech, housing, construction, and clean energy.
