The campaign for BCIT

INSPIRE

A new era at BCIT is underway. We're creating a campus that is built to inspire.

BCIT proudly recognizes the leaders who have contributed $33 million to support the development of the new Trades and Technology Complex. Their generosity will have a tremendous impact on BCIT students, and BC’s workforce and economy. Read more.

“The changing world of work –and Canada as a knowledge-based economy– requires that our people have greater access to higher education.”

Chief Instructor, Trades Access, BCIT
