On Saturday, April 6 in Prince George, we hosted our Community Love and Fun Day which is a kickoff to our month of community love, celebrating 10 years in Prince George! We had roughly 300 people come to our open house, eat burgers and hot dogs, learn about our programs and win some cool swag. Our event opened with the UHNBC drummers doing a few songs and prayers for us. Then the BBQ kicked off and we celebrated! We had a great time showing off the centre, chatting with the community, and getting to know about the different organizations around Prince George. But the fun didn’t stop there ..read more

After completing this SecurIt program, I feel both accomplished and eager to embark on the next phase of my professional journey. The records management, Microsoft Word and Outlook and employment preparation courses were particularly instrumental in enhancing my administrative skills and technological proficiency which are critical in today’s workplace. My knowledge about the importance of organizing and handling information efficiently has improved, and so has my ability to effectively use Microsoft Word and Outlook. These sessions not only prepared me for the job-hunting process, but also bo ..read more

I want to thank all the staff at CVTC, Prince George, for creating such a positive and welcoming environment for their students. I had a wonderful and rewarding experience as a student in the Denovo program. It was great learning new skills and I appreciated the individualized skills training. I would highly recommend this program to others who may be navigating how to re-enter the workforce, or transitioning to find a new and rewarding career. My instructors were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and all offered excellent advice, including Cal. I am incredibly thankful for everyone’s supp ..read more

When I started the Denovo program, I was unsure if it was actually going to help me, but the staff at CVTC is very supportive and helpful. From the receptionist to the President, they are all involved like a family, so they make you feel special. The support I received had me a job in a career change I wanted within the second month of the program. My case worker Cindy was always there for me and made sure I received the skills I needed to succeed. I highly recommend this program to anyone who needs support and some skills to change their career or flourish in the career they want. The instruc ..read more

Thanks CVTC for accepting me as a student here. Before I started it, I was totally lost. I didn’t know what kind of job I wanted and what I should do; I was just applying online every day. Any open position was my target! But since I joined the program at CVTC, I have built my confidence, slowly found out what I like, who I am, and learned lots of skills to use when I’m working. I got lots of certifications to help me find a job too. Thanks to the teachers at CVTC. Without them, I may still be a lost girl working like a zombie every single day. Now I’m proud of myself, I know what job I want t ..read more

It’s scam season again. Or did it ever leave? Normally come spring, we’d issue a warning about CRA (Canada Revenue Agency, aka the Tax Guys) scams. This is about the point where people are filing taxes and getting their refunds, so scams are rife with people getting so-called text messages about their return, clicking on the links, and giving up private information. This is a pretty bad scam, so quickly: the CRA never sends you texts regarding your returns and they already have your personal information, so they don’t usually need it again (unless you’re talking to agents in person on the phon ..read more

Hello CVTC, I’m writing to let you know about my recent success with challenging Sage 50, Levels 1 & 2. Although I am addressing this letter to CVTC, it reminds of a letter I would write to myself and what my dreams are. And you are all a big part of the way. After losing my job I didn’t know what to do next. With not much confidence in myself, I made an appointment with Cal at CVTC. I had stayed in touch over the last 7 years since my graduation of the Administrative Program with Sage 50 and Manual Bookkeeping, included Microsoft Training and Office procedures. (Although my passion is wri ..read more
