The PTDA Foundation has been awarded a $10,000 donation by BC Bearing Engineers Ltd., Burnaby, B.C., in support of its major workforce initiative, the Industrial Careers Pathway (ICP).
The company's donation is the largest gift ever to be given to the PTDA Foundation by a distribution company and the second largest investment made in 2008. The donation is also a $3,000 increase over the company's 2007 gift.
"We understand the importance of investing in the future of the industrial distribution industry. One way for our company to effectively promote the excellent careers available is to support the ICP initiative," said W. Penny Omnès, vice-president external affairs and corporate relations, BC Bearing Engineers Ltd. "ICP also ties in with our own company efforts through the Wendy B. McDonald School of Distribution to provide ongoing education, and we see real value in that."
"BC Bearing Engineers Ltd. has been a leader in ICP since its inception with its financial investment, helping make important connections and providing involved volunteers at every level of the initiative," says Phyllis Russell, PTDA Foundation executive director. "Now, they've raised the bar for all distributors committed to building a skilled industrial distribution workforce for today and the future with a $10,000 annual gift. This level of support helps us move ahead rapidly in building the programs and services needed to connect with and prepare the people our industry needs."
