HI All,

Below are the links to two workshops we recently hosted that included important information.  The first link represents the first 30 minutes or so of our FAW level 1.  It is an update on the general guidelines around the current Student Aide year...The second link is the full workshop on the project to modernize the student loan process...

Both are worth your time if student Aide is a part of what you do....Special thanks to the policy staff for taking the time to share the information and answer questions!!

HI All,

Over the past 2 months we have hosted 8 workshops.  To the 500 plus attendees, thankyou for supporting our effort to promote best practice!!  A very big thank you as well to Krista and her team at Discovery College (FAW 1&2), our accountant Richard (college financial management), and the team at PTIB and Student loans  For those of you who attended the FAW level 1 and 2 as well as the College Financial Management workshops, your certificate will be mailed to the campus location registered with BCCCA...to then be distributed internally.  If you attended and don't receive a certificate in the next two weeks, email me at ceo@bccca and I will track it down for you.*

* Note...if you didn't complete the quiz at the end of the workshop, then there is no certificate on the way...I apologize to those who had to leave early or for some other reason were unable to complete the quiz, it's a requirement for the certificate...

Our next round of workshops is slated for fall, but, what we are really looking forward to is our in person 2022 spring conference. As much as we have enjoyed the virtual events, we can't wait to see you in person...

Stay tuned for the save the date announcement!

We have also continued to be very active in the grant space.  Over the past 6 months we have been able to secure millions of dollars in tuition funding, particularly for healthcare.  Having said that, the governments focus is moving beyond the pandemic to economic recovery.  Areas such as technology, and community based employment opportunities are at the top of the agenda so if you have ideas, reach out and let's chat....ceo@bccca.com

I am also excite to let you know that we have significantly increased our engagement with Associate members, the companies that provide products and services to our sector.  We are reworking our website to make it easier for you to connect and stay on top of the exclusive offers they bring to BCCCA members...

HI All,

Once again it's time for our virtual AGM...which we hope will be the last time we include the word virtual.  The meeting is scheduled for July 29 at 11 am and is expected to run about 1 hour.  If you wish to attend, please RSVP to ceo@bcccca and I will put you on the list and send out the zoom link a day or two before the meeting.  If you have any quests, send them to the same email contact and I will respond as soon as possible...
