<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>
