The Nicola Valley Institute of Technology Employees’ Association (NVITEA)

Representing the faculty and support staff at the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT), NVITEA operates under the umbrella of the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators (FPSE) of British Columbia, advocating for the rights and interests of its members.

The association ensures that its members have a voice in institutional decisions and that their working conditions are fair and equitable.

In April 2023, NVITEA successfully ratified a collective agreement under the Shared Recovery Mandate, covering nearly 140 faculty and support staff. This agreement, effective from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2025, includes general wage increases, the establishment of a working group to develop an Indigenous dispute resolution framework, and meaningful improvements to benefits. Through such initiatives, NVITEA continues to play a pivotal role in enhancing the professional lives of its members and contributing to the overall success of NVIT.
