A history of helping people succeed at work
WCG began in 1994 as a small HR consulting company.
We focused on providing on-the-job training for employees of small businesses and unemployed British Columbians. From day one, we wanted to help people achieve their potential in the workplace.
Key milestones
We appreciate the programs we have had the privilege of being a part of since our inception in 1994.
