Attracting Interest With An Attractive Program

摘要

So how do you get high school students interested in a field that's been going through a rough time and does not have the same allure as "rock star" or "professional athlete?" According to the formula at the Career Technical Centre (CTC) in Prince George, B.C., you let them experience it first hand and make it worth their while.rnA partnership between the College of New Caledonia and two nearby school districts, the CTC allows students to gain experience in a trade while both gaining high school elective credits and college credits that can be applied to a first year of technical training. The program offers opportunities in a number of different trades, including four that send students to Canfor Pulp Limited Partnership (CPLP) in Prince George.
