As the school year draws to a close, the ministry encourages career education leads to remind students that the online application for the Youth Work in Trades (WRK) Scholarship will be available on the ministry’s Career Programs web page in early September 2025; this fall is the first time students will apply for the WRK Scholarship directly.
The WRK Scholarship is for apprentices who registered with SkilledTradesBC on or after July 1, 2024. Those who registered on or before June 30, 2024, remain eligible for the previous Youth Work in Trades Award and will have their eligibility assessed on the award program’s original conditions. A list of FAQs about the WRK Scholarship can be found here. For a reminder about why the award is being transitioned to a scholarship, please see the earlier FAQs published on September 6, 2024.
