Back to school

It’s hard to believe the summer is coming to an end, already. I know! Don’t say it out loud. As the students head back to class, the truth is hard to ignore. However, this means it’s the start of another exciting recruitment season.

Michelle and I will be hitting the road very shortly to begin helping students get all the important information they need to make their post-secondary decision. We understand this is a big life decision. We are excited to help you with this decision.

We are traveling all over Western Canada and look forward to answering your questions. We’ll be visiting hundreds of high school, many Education and Career Fairs and you’ll probably see us taking a coffee break at every Tim Horton’s along the way! Please check our blog (on the right) to find out where we’ll be next.

All the best as many of you head back to school. And those not headed back to class, all the best to you too!

Peace,

Jason

Brrr...

August 15 brought some fantastic entertainment to Calgary by way of the Reggae Festival. The SAIT Recruitment Officers were happy to attend the event and answer questions on

programming SAIT offers. The event started off slowly as it was a pretty chilly day. The sun came out for a short time in the afternoon but our appeal was nothing compared to the musical talents of the entertainment.

A huge thank you to Meaghan and Deborah! We certainly appreciated your help!

Our next summer festival is the Expo Latino on Princes’ Island Park. We will have our table open to the public on Friday August 28 from 6 pm to 10 pm; Saturday August 29 and Sunday August 30 from 11 am to 7 pm.

Marda Gras!

Thanks to the help of some of SAIT’s Student Services staff, SAIT was able to attend the much loved Marda Gras Festival on Sunday August 9th.

I have to admit that I love attending these events on SAIT’s behalf. Who can complain about spending a couple hours outside, listening to some fantastic music, spending some time wandering through the many vendors and most importantly, chatting with all the people who are interested in SAIT’s programs.

This weekend we fielded many questions about what programs may still be available for the Fall and the Skills Investment Program.

A huge thank you to Tim, Karin and Jay for coming out to the event, we couldn’t have done it without you.
