There will also be a new training facility in Vernon, plus improvements to current facilities in Abbotsford and Dawson Creek.
The money will create 500 new student spaces in B.C. over the next two to three years.

"We have to recognize that aerospace manufacturing and maintenance sectors are expected to need 10,000 additional workers in British Columbia in the next eight years."
