WorkBC saw Lucas' abilities

Lucas needed experience and support to enter the workforce

Lucas was fascinated with technology but never thought he could make a career in the field until he connected with WorkBC Centre Maple Ridge.

Lucas’ school district and WorkBC Centre Maple Ridge worked together to transition him out of high school and into the workforce.

WorkBC provided Lucas specialized supports to help overcome some developmental challenges. Staff got to know him and were able to determine a vocation matching his abilities and interests.

With his fascination for technology and electronics, he completed the Basic Occupational Education Program for Electronics and General Assembly at Douglas College. WorkBC Centre Maple Ridge staff then helped connect him with employers that offered supportive employment opportunities.

Lucan earned his dream job and is an Electronic Assembler with Selcom Industries Hi-Tech Manufacturing.
