Vancouver – July 14, 2026: Vancouver Community College (VCC) is launching a series of new automotive programs to prepare B.C.’s automotive sector for the shift towards clean energy and sustainable technologies. Designed in partnership with industry, the new programs will ensure graduates enter the workforce with the skills needed to meet the growing demand for automotive technicians trained to work on hybrid and electric vehicles.

As part of its Zero-Emission Vehicles Act, the B.C. government aims to ensure 75% of all cars sold by 2035 are electric vehicles.^[1][2] However, this poses a challenge for B.C.’s automotive industry, which currently lacks certified technicians who can work with EVs. By training local talent, VCC will help local automotive service centres recruit skilled technicians, thereby improving operations and lowering repair wait times across the industry.

“Now is an exciting time to be working in the automotive industry as we’re seeing a huge expansion in the roles and skills needed within the field,” says Brett Griffiths, Dean of Trades, Technology, and Design, VCC. “VCC partnered closely with industry to develop these programs. This has ensured our automotive training gives students hands-on experience and industry connections, helping them enter a field with strong future job prospects.”
