Hi, I am Heather Hamilton, and you can find me in the main office of the Trades and Technology. I have been working for the School of Trades and Technology since the early 2000s. Women in Trades, community-based training, industry, and workforce development are just a few of the program areas that I oversee, as well as the regional centres. I am passionate about the trades and the opportunities it offers people to develop meaningful careers and even start their own businesses. I come from a family of tradespeople and teachers. I have some carpentry experience which was developed while building houses alongside my dad.
I went to BCIT and worked towards my Bachelors of Business Administration while employed for a natural gas company in downtown Vancouver where I worked in commercial marketing. I moved to Kamloops in the mid-1990’s and have worked at TRU since that time. My husband and I both love the outdoors, as do my two daughters. My favourite times are wandering up and over mountains, far from roads and crowds.
