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

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

We have also received 2 students for 10 weeks, whereas in the past we've
received 14 weeks for up to 2 students. Having read these emails, and after
speaking to another local organization that only received 10 weeks, I get
the feeling they have funded any number of jobs possible so that the
positive headline is "X number more youth jobs created in 2016 over the last
year"

 

Good luck everyone!

Yes, we had the same news. 5 students for 10 weeks. However, this is more
weeks overall than we have received in the past. Its difficult to accomplish
very much and offer much training in 10 weeks. But we'll take what we can
get. Everything helps.

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
