The www.skillnet.net program started with the British Columbia Technical Industries Association (BCTIA) to provide a means for educators to have their services listed easily to the general public.

After development work, the BCTIA partnered with The Personnel Department; a leading placement and employment consultancy with offices serving North America, Australia, and the UK.

Since The Personnel Department added its expertise, this program has evolved under their management to include many features necessary for students as well as employee retraining and employee development initiatives.

The www.skillnet.net program is now divided into two parts:

www.skill-ed.com Features proprietary training facilities, apprenticeship guidance and information, business colleges, and specialized educational facilities.

www.coursearch.com Features universities and colleges.

Access is free.  Course calendar and curriculum searches are free. Many free articles, statistics, and links are available to any visitor. Access to the Endowbooks.com bookstore is possible from both sites.  Endowbooks.com is a deep discount bookstore that directs its revenues to student scholarships.  It's a great site. Visit it, check it out, and - if you like it - tell a friend.
