Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) Career Showcase

For graduating students interested in pursuing careers in the fields of justice and public safety, whether as paramedics, firefighters, police officers, social workers, counsellors, sheriffs or correctional officers, the JIBC Career Showcase provides a unique opportunity to learn more about these career choices and their pre-requisites.

The Showcase will feature display booths that will allow students to browse, collect information and ask questions about various career choices and programs available at the Institute, as well as attend a number of presentations by current justice and public safety professionals.

In order to plan event logistics, we need some indication of planned attendance at the Showcase.  In addition, this year we are considering hosting both a morning and an afternoon session.  If possible, schools that are interested attending should confirm their interest by emailing communications@jibc.ca  - by Friday February 5, 2010.  Please provide an estimate of the number of students that may be attending, your preference for attending the morning or afternoon session and identify any specific areas of interest.

If there are any questions about the Showcase, please call 604.528.5874 or email communications@jibc.ca.

With many thanks for your support in helping us to develop an event that provides a meaningful opportunity for students to learn about career opportunities in the fields of criminal and social justice and public safety.
