BCCA Leadership Awards were presented to the Leaders in our industry last night. Knappett's Superintendent Ryan Thran proudly holds his leadership award for his excellent work with our apprenticeship program while standing with owners, Roger Yager and John Knappett.

Ryan is a long-time superintendent with our company and has managed most of our North Island projects for the last 25 years. His passion for encouraging workers to become an apprentice is inspiring. For the last 7 years, he believes he has now mentored over 40 apprenticeships. He has been working with trades training program coordinators in SD71 and 72 in the Comox Valley and Campbell River area to host site tours, provide onsite work experience and summer work, or hire students ready to work full-time. We are certain that Ryan and his field team have hosted the most Youth in Training students because of his close work with the school board and Skills Canada facilitators up there. Working with these teams has further ensured his apprentices are offered every available resource to move through their program.

Here at Knappett, we can surely say we are proud of the efforts Ryan has made with our apprenticeship program and are proud to have him recognized by other industry members as one who has proved his commitment to making sure our apprentice program is the best in the industry!

If you are an apprentice and looking for a company that supports your training, send us a resume- let's get you on-site with us right away!
