[BCMA] Funding Notification More But Less...... a question to you...

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

We got the one student we asked for, but for only ten weeks instead of the
14 we usually get. We have no choice but to accept; ten weeks funded is
still easier on tight budgets than no weeks funded.

Hi Everyone,

 

We just got our official CSJ notification for 4 students. but for less money
than we got last year for 3 students. Last year it was 3 students for 14
weeks, this year it is 4 students for 9 weeks.

 

Frankly I cannot see how we can accept this offer. We already top up the
wage and pay all the MERC's, and usually extend the students a couple of
extra weeks. As we are also a visitor centre, each student is required to
take about a two week training program to get their provincial travel
counsellor certificate.

 

Based on this offer from the feds,  at best I think we could afford to  hire
2 students and then extend and top up for 14-16 weeks.

 

So I am curious, have other of you found that your offer from CSJ  this year
is similar to ours, with more students but significantly less weeks?

 

Cheers

Lee
