We are excited to share that the funding for two of our upcoming projects was announced this afternoon at a Federal Funding Announcement event hosted by Bow Valley College.

Lee Richardson, MP Calgary Central, and Sharon Carry, President and CEO,  announced that BVC will receive over $1.6 million for three projects through the Career Focus Program and the Office of Literacy and Essential Skills.

The three projects that will receive this funding are:

Connection to the Workplace, Read to Succeed (RtS) and a Market Segmentation View of the Aboriginal Literacy Market (ALM). The RtS and ALM projects will be managed and developed by us, and our colleagues at Connexion Carriere will be handling the Connection to the Workplace project.

For more information view the Press Release or  watch the event on Webcast.

We will be posting more details about these projects soon, but if you have any questions please contact us.
