Supporting Training and Opportunities in the Trades

Splatsin Homes is also proud to welcome Kh’Alen Jones, a Splatsin band member (pictured on the left in the photo), who recently joined the team as part of his carpentry training.

Kh’Alen is currently a Grade 11 student at A.L. Fortune Secondary School in Enderby and is enrolled in the Entry Level Carpentry Program at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm, where he attends classes four days a week. As part of his training, he will spend one day each week working with the Splatsin Homes construction crew, gaining hands-on experience in residential building.

Kh’Alen began working with the team on Friday, March 6, and the plan is to register him as an apprentice as he continues progressing in the program.

Providing opportunities for Splatsin members to gain experience, training, and careers in the trades is an important part of the work being done through Splatsin Homes. Supporting young people as they develop practical skills helps strengthen both the company and the broader community.

More updates will be shared as construction continues on the Splatsin Homes show home and preparations move forward for additional homes.
