Re-Think Education

Education and training will play an increasingly important role in the labour market over the upcoming next 10 years.  People looking for work will find that they will need a minimum of some type of post secondary training in order to qualify for 78% of the future jobs.  This projection leaves only 22% of available jobs that will require only High School or less that High School.  This is alarming to say the lease, and good advice is to complete your Grade 12 at a minimum, and to seriously consider putting a plan into action to acquire some career specific training.

Sourcing out High School Education in our area will take you to two avenues that will help you get on the path to completion.  The Bridge is the School District #58 alternate school and is located in the Riverside Centre.  Their phone number is 250-295-3180.  If the Bridge will not work for any reason, try the South Centre Interior Distance Education School (SCIDES).  They are located in Merritt, however their programming is online and they do have teachers on hand to help with subject matter.  Find SCIDES on the web.  Finally, and as always, we at the Princeton Skills Centre will continue to work for you in accessing this information.  Stop in to our office during office hours.
