BCIT & MCABC Collaboration Day |
|

On April 27th, MCABC and members went to BCIT to meet with HVAC and refrigeration students. Students had the chance to introduce themselves and give their resumes to potential employers, as well as join our student chapter. We also toured the learning facility and found that BCIT is in need
of new HVAC equipment to ensure they can continue to produce the best-trained
future employees.
This event was so successful that we plan to have more in the future, and we hope that we can all help BCIT access new equipment. |
