SUMMARY:Launching Your Second Career Through BC Public Colleges | Online
DESCRIPTION:In today’s world\, a four-year university degree no longer guarantees employment. To help navigate this new reality\, we invite permanent residents to a free online session featuring an experienced advisor who has worked closely with admissions officers from various public colleges in BC. The session will cover promising programs\, admission procedures\, and co-op opportunities leading to employment. Secondary school students and their parents who are looking to make practical and informed decisions about future career paths are also welcome. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4년제 학위만으로는 취업이 보장되지 않는 시대입니다. 이에 따라 BC주의 여러 공립 컬리지에서 제공하는 유망 전공\, 입학 절차\, 코업 후 취업까지의 과정을 다년간 다양한 컬리지 입학 사정관들과의 경험이 풍부한 전문가와 함께 온라인으로 알아보는 시간을 마련했습니다. 캐나다 영주권자분들을 위한 이번 설명회는 무료로 진행되며\, 자녀의 진로를 합리적으로 설계하고자 하는 학부모님과 고등학생의 참여도 환영합니다. 이번 기회를 놓치지 마세요!
