The British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) launches a national platform, Modern Methods of Construction Education (MMC Edu), bringing education and industry together to advance the future of construction education and training in Canada. The platform is an outcome of the Mass Timber Training Network: Advancing Trades for a Sustainable Future (MTAT) project. The project convened a national network to support the advancement of wood as a low-carbon building material by addressing major barriers to mass timber adoption across Canada. The MTAT network focuses on education and training as a key vehicle for reducing barriers and empowering the next generation of the workforce with the skills needed to succeed in modernized construction. In partnership with Natural Resources Canada (NR Can) and the Green Construction Through Wood Program (GC Wood), BCIT is building the foundation for a skilled workforce in mass timber and off-site construction supporting innovation, sustainability, and workforce readiness across the sector.
