WV School District Careers Lunch

WV School Careers Lunch

EVERY year, about this time, the West Vancouver School District and its staff members put on a great appreciation lunch for the many local businesses who support their career programs. Last week, the West Vancouver Yacht Club was the perfect setting for the business luncheon which took place on a very sunny June 4. This year alone, over 250 students enrolled in the careers program, participating in over 460 volunteer work placements. Businesses ranging from engineering firms to banks, health care centres and movie production companies took part and gave the kids a chance to see what life might be like beyond graduation. A great resume booster, a great chance to grow.

	Participating in the careers program is a rewarding experience as Marion Beck (left) and Linda Harrison will tell you.
	District career programs assistant Pam Crowley would love to hear from you if you and your business are willing to take on a student. Find her at the district office, 1075 - 21 Street.
	Officer in charge, Doug Alpin, seen here with West Vancouver High School's Rhonda Foster, is with the Coast Guard, one of the many businesses involved in the program.
	They're career women for sure. From left: Kate Dwyer (pre-school teacher at North Shore Neighbourhood House), Cynde Harmon (from Really Real Films production company) and Jenny Stevens (special education teacher).
	Quick, call 9-1-1. Kathleen Suddes had students with her this past year at the Lower Mainland's E-Comm emergency call centre facility.
	Program coordinator Bill McKitrick couldn't have been happier with the turnout. It's a special day that can't be beat.
