The BCSCA is pleased to launch an exciting new student work experience placement program entitled “A Day in the Mall”. This program expands upon our BCSCA Student Scholarship Awards and is intended to provide post-secondary students with an opportunity to explore the shopping industry’s retail environment and what goes on behind-the-scene.
For this program BCSCA is providing annual grants of $150.00 to cover a one-day program, of which $90.00 is allocated for the student’s transportation/food costs and $60.00 is allocated for the student to attend future BCSCA speaker luncheons events.
What’s In It For You?
BCSCA’s “A Day in the Mall” program benefits include providing student participants with practical applicable experience; while allowing participating shopping centers to raise the profile of the retail shopping industry and attract potential future talent for the industry. Additionally, this unique program aims to encourage various education institutions to enrich their post secondary educational programs by including the shopping center profession as a career option; thus providing a connection with a potential resource for future employees.
Get Involved. Get Connected.
This is a chance to get your shopping center involved in a one-day placement program from September 2012 to December 2012.
Please let us know the dates and times when you are able to host these student participants.
Send an email to: equiring@marquise.ca or kent.goodwin@stantec.com .
We will then connect the post-secondary institutions with you and the partnership can take shape!
We look forward to your great results!
