CBT Career Internship Program
Now more than ever businesses and organizations need qualified employees and post-secondary graduates need a kick start to their careers. Enter the new  Career Internship Program from Columbia Basin Trust . This program is now accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis.

The program provides wage funding for employers to hire college and university graduates in permanent, career-focused positions. By attracting skilled, emerging professionals at a reduced cost to the organization, they can expand their teams and build capacity. The funding is up to 50 per cent of the new employee’s wage over the first seven to 12 months, to a maximum of $25,000. The intern position must include a training plan that provides structured learning to the new employee and transitions to full-time, permanent employment at the end of the internship.

Community Investment Co-op
Golden is part of 16 Kootenay communities looking at the potential of forming a regional Community Investment Co-op.

"A Community Investment Co-op is a for-profit Co-operative (CIC) that raises capital from local residents, and then invest these monies into area businesses.

CIC’s give residents the opportunity to move a portion of their investment portfolios into the places they live, work and play. This enables residents to become partners in locally driven economic development, which leads to stronger and more sustainable economies."
