NEWS & EVENTS

2004 Industry training.

The Atlantic Home Builders' Training Board and the Council are again offering an extensive program of courses for the residential construction sector in the four Atlantic provinces. The courses have been developed by the industry, together with federal government partners that include CMHC and NRCan.

The Home Builders' Associations in the Atlantic Region, and the Atlantic Home Warranty Program, have provided ongoing support in the development and updating of courses, and they encourage their members to participate in the training.

Between 1991-2003, 606 courses were delivered to almost 6600 individuals working in the sector in 25 locations throughout the Region. Several of these courses are part of mandatory training programs, in an effort to reassure consumers, bankers and regulatory agencies, that members have completed training in technical skills and knowledge, as well as 'best practices' in the construction of housing and management of their companies.

Some courses provide Continuing Education credits for members of the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Real Estate Associations. The courses have also been used in other provinces, and internationally to promote Canadian housing for the export market.
