These changes are predominantly focused on content in B2 through B4 and reflect the ongoing diversification of the trades, with a focus on the use of inclusive language in the text. In addition, this second edition provides more in-depth resources with regard to harassment, conflict resolution, employment-seeking strategies, mentorship, and effective communication skills. In addition, test material in the book was expanded upon to reflect the incorporation of the updated content.\r\n<h2>History of the Trades Access Common Core Resources<\/h2>\r\nThe concept of identifying and creating resources for skills that are common to many trades has a long history in the Province of British Columbia. This collection of Trades Access Common Core (TACC) resources was adapted from the 15 Trades Common Core line modules co-published by the Industry Training and Apprenticeship Commission (ITAC) and the Centre for Curriculum Transfer and Technology (C2T2) in 2000-2002. Those modules were revisions of the original Common Core portion of the TRAC modules prepared by the Province of British Columbia Ministry of Post-Secondary Education in 1986. The TACC resources are still in use by a number of trades programs today and, with the permission from the Industry Training Authority (ITA), have been utilized in this project.\r\n\r\nThese open resources have been updated and realigned to match many of the line and competency titles found in the Province of BC\u2019s trades apprenticeship program outlines. A review was carried out to analyze the provincial program outlines of a number of trades, with the intent of finding common entry-level learning tasks that could be assembled into this package. This analysis provided the template for the outline used to update the existing modules. Many images found in ITA apprentice training modules were also incorporated into these resources to create books that are similar to what students will see when they continue their chosen trades training. The project team has also taken many new photographs for this project, which are available for use in other trades training resources.\r\n\r\nThe following list of lines and competencies was generated with the goal of creating an entry-level trades training resource, while still offering the flexibility for lines to be used as stand-alone books. This flexibility\u2014in addition to the textbook content being openly licensed\u2014allows these resources to be used within other contexts as well. For example, instructors or institutions may incorporate these resources into foundation-level trades training programming or within an online learning management system (LMS).\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Line A \u2013 Safe Work Practices\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A-1 Control Workplace Hazards<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A-2 Describe WorkSafeBC Regulations<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A-3 Handle Hazardous Materials Safely<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A-4 Describe Personal Safety Practices<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A-5 Describe Fire Safety<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Line B \u2013 Employability Skills\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>B-1 Apply Study and Learning Skills<\/li>\r\n \t<li>B-2 Describe Expectations and Responsibilities of Employers and Employees<\/li>\r\n \t<li>B-3 Use Interpersonal Communication Skills<\/li>\r\n \t<li>B-4 Describe the Apprenticeship System<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Line C \u2013Tools and Equipment\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>C-1 Describe Common Hand Tools and Their Uses<\/li>\r\n \t<li>C-2 Describe Common Power Tools and Their Uses<\/li>\r\n \t<li>C-3 Describe Rigging and Hoisting Equipment<\/li>\r\n \t<li>C-4 Describe Ladders and Platforms<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Line D \u2013 Organizational Skills\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>D-1 Solve Trades Mathematical Problems<\/li>\r\n \t<li>D-2 Apply Science Concepts to Trades Applications<\/li>\r\n \t<li>D-3 Read Drawings and Specifications<\/li>\r\n \t<li>D-4 Use Codes, Regulations, and Standards<\/li>\r\n \t<li>D-5 Use Manufacturer and Supplier Documentation<\/li>\r\n \t<li>D-6 Plan Projects<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Line E \u2013 Electrical Fundamentals\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>E-1 Describe the Basic Principles of Electricity<\/li>\r\n \t<li>E-2 Identify Common Circuit Components and Their Symbols<\/li>\r\n \t<li>E-3 Explain Wiring Connections<\/li>\r\n \t<li>E-4 Use Multimeters<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Safety Advisory<\/h2>\r\nBe advised that references to the Workers\u2019 Compensation Board of British Columbia safety regulations contained within these materials do not\/may not reflect the most recent Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.
