Apprentice support
The West Vancouver School District is receiving $30,000 from the Industry Training Authority for Secondary School Apprenticeship program support for the 2015/16 school year.
The funds will help the district place SSA students in grades 10, 11 and 12 with local employers to gain practical work experience.
In 2014/15, 1,048 students registered in SSA programs across B.C., an increase of more than 10 per cent over 2013/14.
Exam passed
Seven North Shore chartered accountant students recently passed the three-day national Uniform Evaluation exam, which was administered by the legacy Chartered Accountants School of Business in June.
They are: Michael Bradley, Salfaraz Jinnah, Peter Jordan, Kyle Kennedy, Rochelle Mcnaughton, Chantelle Shmoorkoff, and Andre Wieser.
These students are among a total of 125 B.C. and Yukon writers who successfully completed the exam, the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia and the CPA Western School of Business announced.
